SAMARRA VEST KNIT ALONG

This oversized vest design by Rosa Pomar was inspired by Portuguese samarras and Romanian sarică, traditional sheepskin outerwear worn by shepherds as protection against the weather. The pattern uses Restrosaria Rosa Pomar Terno yarn in a loop stitch – and thanks to this yarn’s 3-strand texture, the fabric transforms into a faux sheepskin effect after washing. It is also fully reversible, with a textured knit “wrong side” that gives the vest a different look when worn inside out – with a cozy “shearling” lining. The vest features deep armholes so that it can be layered over coats and oversized sweaters throughout winter.
