I finished the fair isle vest! And I wore it on Saturday.
Here are the details about my 'practice' vest.
Pattern: Lizzie Vest from the blog (now inactive) Yellow Pink and Sparkly. You can click on the link and find the Lizzie Vest pattern on the side bar.
Needles: The pattern calls for size 3 and 5 needles; however, I adapted to using size 7 and 5 because the yarn I used called for those sizes and because I also adapted the size to fit.
Yarn: Caron x Pantone. Bamboo. Five colors. I purchased the yarn as a set with navy being the main color. Unfortunately, it looks like Caron is no longer making this yarn.
Full disclosure: I used the pattern as a guide for knitting the fair isle patterning; it is not exactly the same. Mostly, this is because I did not have enough of the three colors pink, white and plum to follow it row by row. But even so, I love how it turned out.
