Jeri Riggs Knitbird on Ravelry Yarn: Eileen Fisher Linen chain yarn, don't know how much. Size 6 needles. Size 38in. around chest No beads Comment: I adored making this vest and especially loved Chart A. When I got to the end, I felt it wasn't long enough, so I added the extra tier of ruffle using the final Chart again. I couldn't bear the thought of ripping it out to make it longer, so I thought a ruffle might be fun. I used silver toned buttons every 10 rows to add some flash. Thanks for a delightful knit, Andrea!
