Sirdar Pattern 10703.
Part of the Ocean Treasures Collection, the Coral Reef Vest is a striking statement piece featuring a beautifully textured panel inspired by branching coral. The chunky stitch pattern picks out the rich, shifting colours of self-striping yarn in the most spectacular way — a vest that looks like wearable art. Pattern Notes
The coral-inspired panel is the centrepiece of this design, with the chunky texture creating depth and dimension that showcases the self-striping colour beautifully. A rewarding knit that combines straightforward construction with a truly eye-catching result. Recommended Yarn — DMC Brio XL
We recommend knitting this pattern in DMC Brio XL, available at The Wool Shop. A chunky weight yarn with a beautiful self-striping effect, each ball is 100g / 155m — perfect for bringing the coral-inspired texture to life.
