Rita by Truly Myrtle comes in printed format, beautifully presented in an A5 booklet.

Effortless to knit, speedy to finish, and incredibly versatile, Rita is the slipover-vest you didn’t realise you needed—until now! She’s designed for chunky yarn and delivers an entertaining experience from planning to completion.

Whether you opt for plump wool or dive into your stash to combine strands for a chunky result, you’ll love experimenting with yarn combinations to create gorgeous, large, round stitches.

Knitted from the top down, Rita offers two stylish lengths: a longer version with a chic split hem and a cropped version with a simple ribbed finish. She features elegantly shaped shoulders and attractive details that complement her larger gauge.

With clear, easy-to-follow instructions, easy-to-understand sizing info and a clean pattern layout.
