CONSTRUCTION
This vest features a cable pattern on both sides of the buttonband and a rib stitch at the shoulders and a symmetrical rib stitch at the centre back. It is knitted top down, flat with saddle shoulders. Short rows are worked not only for the neck but also for the shoulders to add length. The vest is started with the neck and shoulder line which are worked in Stockinette Stitch and German Short Rows. The front and back are then joined at the underarms and the vest is worked from underarm to hem. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole and worked in the rnd with an i-cord BO.
