Wearable Art At Its Finest: Pattern To Knit A Vest Inspired By Henri Matisse’s Blue Nudes

Posted by Danielle | Apr 13, 2026 | Knitting Patterns |

A vest inspired by Henri Matisse’s Blue Nudes, the Matisse Vest from Podart Studio, is one of those patterns that stops you mid-scroll. An eye-catching intarsia figure in warm sand against deep teal, knit flat from the bottom up with a clean minimalist back. This pattern is considered intermediate level and includes a 9-page illustrated PDF plus a full knitting chart. Get the pattern or finished garment.

Get the pattern via Etsy, designed by Oya Yurt of Podart Studio. Also available to purchase fully made.
