Strata: for all your layering dreams
STRATA is the ultimate knit layering piece. This vest combines timeless simplicity with four-seasons versatility for a piece that works equally well as a standalone tank, under your favorite overalls, over a drapey blouse or gathered dress, or under a partially unbuttoned duster. With 9 sizes, instructions and yarn requirements for cropped or full length, video tutorials for the German short rows and picking up stitches, and instructions for optional bust darts, this quick knit is sure to become a year-round staple in your wardrobe.
