Review from Library Journal
Vests have long been a favorite garment of knitters because they are fun
to make, comfortable to wear, and easier to knit than garments with sleeves
that must be carefully fitted to the wearer..... This book, like ....
Folk Shawls, is a compilation of patterns based on the folk wear traditions
of Europe (Scotland, Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, Switzerland, and England),
Asia (Nepal, Japan, and China), Africa, and the Americas. The 25 vest
patterns each include background information about textile traditions
of the country or region, a full-page photo of the garment, a materials
list, and complete instructions. Avid knitters will have difficulty deciding
which of these elegant vests to knit first: the beautiful Sari Silk Vest
from Nepal, the "Many Buttoned Vest" in the German tradition,
or the African-inspired Kasai Vest with its wealth of Fair Isle motifs.
Warmly recommended for textile collections and public libraries.
