NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• The vest is knit sideways in one piece from the right front edge to the left front edge.

• This vest is intended to overlap and drape loosely at the front. Choose the size whose shoulder width (measurement G on schematic) most closely matches the width of your own shoulders.

• Work with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout.

• When working Chart A, the stitch count varies from row to row. To verify stitch count, count stitches at the end of WS rows.

• When working Chart B, note that all the action in the stitch pattern occurs on the WS rows.
