NOTES
The vest is worked seamlessly from the top down, first flat then in the round. The back is worked first to the underarm with short rows to shape the shoulders. Stitches are picked up at the shoulders to work the fronts, each side is worked separately to shape the V-neck opening. Stitches are picked up to work the armhole trims, then fronts and back are joined and worked flat until the V-neck shaping is complete. Then stitches are joined to work the body in the round to the hem. Stitches are picked up to work the collar in the round. Choose the size with 6–10” of positive ease.
