Knit a cute mini troi vest and learn about this unique Estonian fisherman colourwork sweater from the island of Kihnu. You’ll learn lots of skills in this workshop from Kihnu vits knitted braids and the use of steeks for seamless in the round construction. We will even cut 3 mini steeks used for the armholes and neck with the help of crochet reinforcement. This is the perfect workshop if you’ve had the Saar vest or Troi sweater patterns are you knit list.
