The Tere Knitted Vest is a beautifully textured layering piece designed to showcase the luminous colour and gentle drape of Noro Ohajiki. Featuring a woven-look knit and purl pattern, this vest creates subtle dimension across the fabric while allowing the yarn’s tonal shades to shine through.
 
With its clean silhouette and versatile styling, Tere can be worn as a sleeveless shell in warmer weather or layered comfortably through the cooler months. It’s a thoughtful, engaging project that results in a polished garment you’ll reach for often.
