How to Knit Two Skewer Vests with Tulips Pattern

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start knitting, gather the following materials:

Two knitting needles, size 8

Three skeins of worsted weight yarn in your preferred color

A tapestry needle

Scissors

Step 2: Cast On Stitches

Using one of the skewers, cast on 80 stitches using the long-tail cast on method. This will create the back of the vest.

Step 3: Create the Tulips Pattern

The tulips pattern is a beautiful and intricate design that will make your vest stand out. To create the pattern, you'll need to follow the chart you've printed out:

Rows 1-4: Knit all stitches

Rows 5-8: Purl all stitches

Rows 9-12: Knit all stitches

Rows 13-16: Follow the tulips pattern chart (the white squares represent knit stitches, while the black squares represent purl stitches)

Repeat rows 1-16 until the back piece measures 12 inches from the cast on edge.

Step 4: Create the Front Pieces

Using the second skewer, create two front pieces that are identical to the back piece, but with a neckline cutout. To create the cutout, knit the first 35 stitches, bind off the next 10 stitches, and then knit the remaining 35 stitches.

Step 5: Join the Pieces Together

Using the tapestry needle, seam the front pieces to the back piece at the shoulders and sides.

Step 6: Finish the Vest

Once the vest is seamed together, continue knitting the tulips pattern for another 3 inches. Then, bind off all stitches and weave in the ends using the tapestry needle.

And there you have it! A stunning two needles vest with a beautiful tulips pattern. Wear it with pride and enjoy the compliments you'll receive on your unique creation.
