Read MoreThe Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern is a wonderful beginner friendly pattern that can be made in any size to suit every style. The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern was originally part of the 2019 Knitcrate Bonanza of Patterns and I am so excited to now be bringing it to you for free.
It features an incredibly soft DK yarn that was part of the 2019 September Knitcrate but you can use any DK you have on hand. Just be sure to block using wet blocking and I personally block this vest aggressively to get the most out of the drape and shape.
You can add a shawl pin to the front of The Sky Deck Cascading Vest to create a closed capelet look as well.
The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern will give you a magnificent layer as the season change and is the knit sister to the Signal Cascading Vest Free Crochet Pattern.

Hi - I’m Michele
Welcome to Stitch & Hustle. I have always loved crochet (and knit). I started this blog because I wanted to share beginner friendly entry level patterns for all levels of makers. But especially for those learning and just starting out with knitting or crochet. My patterns are super easy and a great place to practice skills with easy construction patterns - and most of the patterns are free for that very reason.
Hope you find something great to make here - and please do share your makes on social media tagging #stitchandhustle.
