Harbor Ridge Knit Vest & Sweater Pattern

Harbor Ridge is two patterns in one: knit it as written for a classic zip-front vest, or add the optional sleeves and turn it into a full sweater. Either way, you get a textured Seersucker Stitch yoke over a smooth Stockinette body, a ribbed zip front, and a cozy shawl-style collar that's picked up and folded for a clean, tailored finish. This one was originally featured in Jolly Holiday Vol 3 (2025).

✨ Features

• Two patterns in one: vest as written, or add sleeves for a sweater
• Textured Seersucker Stitch yoke over a Stockinette body
• Zip front with optional pockets
• Ribbed shawl collar, folded and joined for a clean finish
• Sized from XS through 5X
• Video tutorials linked for every technique used

💖 Why You'll Love It

This is a project that grows with the knitter. You start in comfortable ribbing and Stockinette, then get to add some visual interest with the Seersucker texture across the chest, so it never feels overwhelming. And because it's really two patterns in one, you can decide along the way whether you want a vest or a full sweater, which makes it a versatile pick for gifting too.

📏 Sizing

Harbor Ridge is sized XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X), so it's a great choice whether you're knitting for yourself or want the flexibility to make it again for someone else down the road.

• Chest: 32½ (36, 39½, 46¾, 50¼, 53¾, 57¼, 61, 64½)", intended to be worn with 2" of ease
