This long vest is a great piece to throw on over jeans or dress pants for extra warmth or extra style. It’s worked in one piece to the armholes and the shoulders are joined using 3-Needle Bind-Off – no seams to sew! If you prefer more room in the hips, consider working a portion of the body using a needle one or two sizes larger than required to meet gauge – specific suggestions are included in the instructions.

This vest is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders.

The cable pattern is presented in written format only.
