Chunky Knit Sweater Vest with Custom Neckline
Chunky knit sweater vest hand knitted from soft Italian extra-fine merino wool. This oversized sleeveless wool vest has a cropped length, relaxed shape, accentuated shoulders and chunky ribbed hem, creating a bold handmade layering piece with a thick textured look. The slightly extended shoulder line gives the vest a stronger, more structured look than a classic sleeveless vest, without shoulder pads. This vest is now available with custom neckline and knit pattern options. The main teal sample shows the original Moss / Seed Stitch version with a Simple Round Neck. You can also choose a Ribbed Crew Neck, Folded Ribbed Turtleneck or Wide Cowl Neck for a warmer or more sculptural look. The fit, cropped length, extended shoulder shape and chunky ribbed hem remain the same for all versions — only the neckline and main knit pattern change. Please note: the photos show the Simple Round Neck version. Other neckline options are made to order based on our existing sweater neckline styles. The neckline option photo shows examples of these collar shapes on our sweaters, so you can better imagine how each option may look. Neckline options: Simple Round Neck (as shown) - a clean, simple neckline without a separate ribbed collar, shown on the teal sample. Ribbed Crew Neck - a classic round neckline finished with chunky ribbing. Folded Ribbed Turtleneck - a warm high collar with a folded ribbed neck. Wide Cowl Neck - a high, wide and relaxed neckline with a more sculptural look. Knit pattern options: Moss / Seed Stitch (as shown) - the original textured version shown in the main photos. Stockinette Stitch - a smoother, cleaner knit with a more minimal look. Garter Stitch - a cozy textured knit with soft horizontal ridges. The stitch sample photo shows the available knit pattern options, so you can choose the texture that feels most like your style. You can choose this vest in one solid merino color or in a melange color mix. Solid colors create a cleaner, more minimal look, while melange mixes make the chunky texture more expressive and unique. Each melange piece has its own natural color placement, so every vest is slightly different.
