Orla is the classic cabled vest you've been waiting for! Knit in pieces from the bottom up, the beautiful armhole shaping is worked simultaneously with the front and back. A three needle bind off joins the shoulders and cozy folded twisted rib collar finishes it all off.
Donegal-based knitter Kathleen Meehan designed Orla in our Erin, an authentic Donegal heather comprised of 60% fine Irish wool and 40% New Zealand wool, it will last you for years to come.
