Alma Slipover & Waistcoat Knitting Pattern for ColourLab DK Yarn

Perfect for layering through the changing seasons, Alma is a classic textured waistcoat that can also be worn as a cosy slipover. Designed by Sarah Hatton, this versatile piece pairs beautifully with shirts, blouses or lightweight knits, making it a practical and stylish addition to any wardrobe.

Knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners ColourLab DK, a beautifully soft and durable 100% British wool, Alma offers warmth without bulk and works just as well indoors as it does layered under coats and jackets. A rewarding project for knitters with some experience, it combines timeless texture with easy everyday wearability.
