Our Most Layerable Knitting Patterns

Whether we're in a mercurial climate or having an active and errand-filled day, sometimes we want our knits to keep us warm when we need it - and be easy to remove when we don't. Not only are these patterns comfortable and fuss-free when worn over and under different garments, they also have thoughtful design details to elevate your wardrobe.

Layer Up!

1

Mercedes

With open sides, an A-line shape, scoop neck, and no sleeves, Mercedes is easy to slip on and off over just about anything. The high-low hemline and decorative back band add a distinct touch of style.

Olivia

Olivia is more than a vest, but not quite a sweater. It’s easy to layer thanks to the completely open sides above the waist ribbing. Choose the Yarn Over or Bobble design for the center panel - or make one of each!

Portia

Knit in a smooshy waffle stitch with subtly polished design details, Portia's V-neck and side slits make it easy to throw on over blouses, button-ups, dresses, and more.

Flynn

Flynn was designed as an eco-friendly alternative to the typical - AKA plastic - poly-fleece vest. Knit it more fitted to wear under a coat, or oversized to wear over a hoodie or sweatshirt! The full zipper makes it easy to wear and style.

With drop shoulders and a boxy, oversized fit, Beatriz is roomy enough to be worn over bulkier blouses - and even other lighter weight sweaters and cardigans.

Foggy Morning Wrap

The 2x2 ribbed Foggy Morning Wrap can be worn over any top and fits nicely under a coat. Its provisional cast-on and short-rows create an open-sided shape that will rest comfortably on your shoulders and help it to stay in place.

Artemis Wrap

The Artemis Wrap takes the humble shawl to the next level. Hidden short rows and a gradual taper create a C-curved crescent shape that sits comfortably around your shoulders and neck without slipping off, making it easier to throw on over anything without a fuss.

Nine Patch

Not only is Nine Patch a great layering vest - it's a great stash buster too! The colorful squares are made using intarsia, so you can use up your yarn scraps and playfully customize the color scheme to fit your style. The pattern also includes a cardigan version.
