Knitted vests ️ 🗝️ Knit this key midseason garment with Katia patterns

20 January, 2026

Knitted vests are back as a key midseason wardrobe staple. Monochrome is in, in soft or deep shades, with relaxed silhouettes and designer details that add character, like lace, cables or open constructions. Over shirts, dresses or worn directly against the skin, the knitted vest redefines layering with a comfortable, modern and very personal aesthetic. At katia.com, we bring together the vest knitting and crochet patterns that best interpret this trend to make it your own way.
