Pelica Bundle

£94.00

Get your Kettle yarns for Pelica by Rosa Pomar. This vest kit uses a strand of Baskerville 2.0 fingering and Hythe lace held together. Mine is size 44.25, which is a bit big for me even after felting, so my advice is not to size up too much.

Finished Bust circumference:
91.3 (93.6, 100.2, 112.4) (120.2, 131.3, 141.3, 151.3) cm
35.94 (36.85, 39.45, 44.25) (47.32, 51.69, 55.63, 59.57) inches

MY MODIFICATIONS:
I made a few simple mods to mine to make it look like a Toast vest I have been coveting:
- No buttons/buttonholes
- moved the underarm and neck increases 8 sts over from the edge to create a visible increase line in the garter.

I decided it was a bit too wide after these photos and popped it in the washing machine for more of a felt - so terrifying - to bring it in a bit more. I set a 15 min wash on 30 degrees and that did the job - it is about 2 sizes smaller and where I wanted it. Fabric isn't too felted, but just the right amount to bring the garther in and keep it there.
