Wren Open-Front Vest Knitting Pattern – Ribbed Waistcoat PDF

Create a stylish everyday layering piece with the Wren Open-Front Vest Knitting Pattern, a modern sleeveless waistcoat with a relaxed open front and beautifully mixed knit textures.

The design combines smooth stockinette sections with horizontal stripe texture and classic 2×2 ribbing, giving the vest an understated patchwork-style look without making the silhouette feel busy. The ribbed front bands, neckline, armholes and hem add structure while keeping the finished garment soft and wearable. RibbedVestKnittingPattern

Worked flat in separate back and front pieces before seaming and finishing, Wren is a satisfying garment project with straightforward traditional construction. RibbedVestKnittingPattern

🧵 Recommended Yarns

The Wren Vest works beautifully in yarns with good stitch definition so the contrasting smooth and textured sections remain visible.

Suitable options include:

  • DK yarn
  • 8ply yarn
  • Light worsted yarn
  • Alpaca blends
  • Merino wool
