A well-considered men's V-neck vest from Kiniki Knits — the Keo Keo Road combines stockinette and seed stitch panels separated by simple cable borders for a result that's textured, structured, and genuinely wearable. Inspired by sportswear, the design uses subtle shaping around the middle and the natural contours of the stitch panels to give the impression of tapering from chest to waist — a flattering detail that works across all five sizes. The body is worked from the bottom up with seaming only at the shoulders, keeping the construction clean and straightforward.
Named after a forestry road that forms part of one of the designer's favourite short walks — a quiet, purposeful name for a quiet, purposeful garment.
Written for advanced beginners, the pattern is clear and well-structured, but the combination of stitch panels and cable borders gives it enough interest to keep more experienced knitters engaged too. Worked in DK / 8 ply yarn on 4 mm needles, it's a satisfying project at a manageable pace.
