Description: This could be a really great gilet - but you need to find the right yarn. You could go for an ethnic look with a natural cream bouclé and a leather waist tie or narrow belt. Or you can go as shown with a fancy bulky yarn - look at some of the Louisa Harding yarns - consider knitting several yarns/ribbons together....
