You can make your own beautiful Life on the Pond Vest. It requires moderate knitting and sewing skills. You will need super bulky wool like Briggs and Little Country Roving. It is tightly knit on 6.5mm and 7mm needles to provide a cozy outer garment, perfect for a damp, coastal winter. Assembly and finishing is done with a darning needle and crochet hook. The pockets are machine sewn and then hand sewn into the finished vest. The zipper is also best sewn in by hand.
