Gotta Have Fade Vest by Spektakelstrik, knitting pattern

Knitting pattern for Gotta Have Fade Vest by Spektakelstrik
The vest is worked bottom up in the round. The vest is knit in brioche sections.
The sections are separated by 2 rows of stockinette stitch with 2 strands of mohair.
Size: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL
Measurements:
Chest circumference: 82 (89) 97 (103) 111 (118) 125 cm
Full length: 46 (46) 50 (50) 53 (53) 53 cm
The vest will expand a little as it is being used because it is worked in brioche, which is very elastic. If in doubt, choose one size smaller than usual.
Needles:
Circular needle size 3 mm (80 cm), circular needle size 6 mm (60 cm), circular needle size 7 mm (80 cm)
Gauge:
11 sts x 28 rows in brioche on needle size 7 = 10 x 10 cm.
Brioche expands quite much when it is washed. It is, therefore, important to wash the swatch before measuring. You may want to measure 20 cm to make sure you have the right gauge.

We serve customers worldwide!
Unfortunately, regulation, distances and language barriers make this a complex task, so in order to best serve all our customers we have set up 3 different web shops targeted to different countries.
Önling is based in Denmark, part of the European Union, so the main distinction is that we have to charge Danish VAT of 25% when selling to countries within the EU. Customers from countries outside of the European Union can purchase our products without paying VAT. Customers within the EU should therefore visit our EU store, whereas customers outside the EU should visit our international INT store. Both these stores are in English, so in addition to this we have a web shop in Danish for our Danish customers (who also pay VAT).
