NOTES
Vest is knit from the bottom up. The front and back are started separately and worked flat, then joined together and worked in the round to the armhole shaping. The front and back are then worked separately and flat again to the shoulder. Shoulders are seamed together using the three needle bind off method. Stitches are picked up around the armholes and the armbands are finished in the round with ribbing. The neckband is also picked up and worked in the round. Both armbands and neckband are knit with a long circular needle, using the Magic loop method. Choose the size with 4-10” positive ease.
