Symfonie Hand-Dyed Yarn | Starry Night Bundle | Viva | Chronicle 1

Starry Night Vest Knitting Kit made in Viva by Symfonie

The Starry Night Vest is a relaxed, easy-to-wear garment that allows colour and texture to take centre stage. Knitted using Viva by Symfonie, a 100% extrafine merino wool, this design offers softness, warmth, and a beautifully smooth fabric.

Worked primarily in stocking stitch, the shifting tones of the yarn create a rich, almost painterly surface, while the simple construction keeps the knitting calm and rhythmic. Finished with 2x2 rib at the hem and armholes, the piece feels clean, balanced, and effortlessly wearable.

Tension & finished measurements

Please take time to check your tension before starting to ensure the best possible finished result. Adjust needle size if required.

This pattern is sized at 38–40 and 42–44 and refers to the wearer’s chest or bust measurement in inches (96-102cm and 107-112cm), not the finished garment size. The finished garment is designed with ease, meaning it will measure larger than the body size to allow for comfort and fit.

We recommend comparing your own measurements to the sizing in the pattern and reviewing the finished garment measurements to decide how you would like your vest to fit.

Why we love this pattern

This is a piece that celebrates colour. The natural variation within the yarn creates depth and movement without the need for complex stitch-work.

It’s a calm, enjoyable knit that results in a garment full of life — simple in construction, yet rich in character.
