The Sundial Knitted Vest is a relaxed, easy-to-wear layering piece designed to showcase the unique tweeded colours of Noro Kompeito. With its clean stockinette fabric and softly structured shape, this vest offers a simple, satisfying knit that results in a polished, versatile garment.
 
Featuring self-finished edges and front bands that extend behind the neck to form a gentle shawl collar, Sundial combines thoughtful design with approachable construction. It’s an ideal project for knitters looking to create a wearable garment that feels both modern and timeless.
