The Olivia Sweater by Cocoknits, featuring AVFKW Flock yarn, is more than a vest, but not quite a sweater - the perfect level of commitment!
This is an easy piece to add to your wardrobe - simply throw it on over a button-down or a long-sleeve tee. There are two stitch patterns to choose from for the center panel: bobbles or YOs - your choice! Knit out of Flock, this piece will be lightweight with some added warmth - our favorite combination.
Beginning at the top of the shoulder, this piece is knit top-down, using short rows for the shoulder shaping. This piece requires absolutely no seaming!

Flock is cozy lightweight yarn made from American wool and milled in Vermont at Green Mountain Spinnery. It is made of a single strand of yarn giving it a rustic, handspun homey feel. Flock is wonderfully soft.
Flock is Verb's take on self-striping yarn. The colorways Granite and Sunflower Seed feature wisps of grey and brown wool, respectively, winding around a white core, resulting in long running stripes of white and the colored wool.
