Construction

This vest is knitted seamlessly, from the bottom up, both in the round and flat.
The neckline stitches are picked up in the end, and a deep v-neck shape neckline is worked in the round with 1x1 ribbing.
The stretchy nature of the all over textured stitches of the body ensures a perfect fit.

Difficulty: intermediate to advanced.

Sizes and measurements

Sizes: (1, 2, 3)(4, 5, 6)(7, 8, 9)

Final garment measurements at chest:

(32-34, 36-38, 40-42)(44-46, 48-50, 52-54)(56-58, 60-62, 64-66) in;
(82-87, 92-97, 102-107)(112-117, 122-127, 133-138)(143-148, 153-158, 163-168) cm.

Note about ease and picking a size: please pick a size, where your actual chest circumference is in the given range of measurements for the final garment measurement size; that way you will end up with zero to very little positive ease at chest and make sure the garment fits you well. If you are in between sizes, I recommend picking size up, not size down.
