Hi, I have 9 balls of 3 colours x50g wool. Unfortunately, the colours are discontinued. As they are quite expensive, I am trying to find a pattern that I can use to knit a 34” ladies waistcoat. Would appreciate if someone can share a pattern. Thank you so much in advance.
Have you tried a search on Ravelry? This yarn knits at about 25sts/4inches (sport weight) and about 137yds/ball. There are pages of patterns some with different colors, some that could be adapted to work with different colors. It is beautiful yarn.
I would certainly try Ravelry. I searched Adult, All Sweaters, Vests, sport weight up to 1200 yards, and got 4,106 matches. You could probably even go to 1500 yards, as you’re a smaller size, and that gives 6,470 choices. So you can make pretty much anything you want!
Another search, under Patterns but using the yarn name, gets 195 patterns.

Have fun narrowing down the choices!

The comeback cardigan colorcro posted would work well in different colours for each lace pattern stripe. The Nancy’s vest posted by salmonmac is a great base shape to design any kind of colour work on.
Here’s a couple more waistcoats
It may also help to see other projects in this yarn, even if they aren’t waist coats, just to see how the colours might be used and give you some inspiration.
Here are a few examples of projects using this yarn with more than one colour
Not sure why the pics aren’t showing. There are some lovely colour examples. I sometimes take a colour motif free online and use it on a base sweater, I’m sure you could do that too.
thank you
