Knit A Long: Riggies Vest
The Riggies Vest by Gudrun Johnston could be the Winter into Spring layering piece your wardrobe needs! Having test knitted this super fun knit for Gudrun, Keeley knows the pattern inside and out and is excited to invite you to the first Nifty Guided Knit Along of 2026.
Whilst the Riggies Vest may look like a simple knit, it has an interesting construction that makes it a great skill build for novice knitters and a rewarding knit for more experienced fiber enthusiasts. It is knitted flat in four pieces that are joined together, stitches are picked up around the bottom and it is finished with a ribbed hem. Short rows, picking up stitches and the three needle bind off are just some of the techniques that will be covered in this four week class. You can add your own spin to the design - choose a pop of color for the seams, alternate colors in the four body sections or stick to a one color design to create a classic that you will wear again and again.
Keeley can't wait to guide you through the process - come join the Knit Along FUN!
This 4-week class starts Tuesday, March 24, 5:00–7:00 PM, with a one-week break midway.
Pattern and materials are not included, but we do offer 10% off
