PATTERN NOTES
This vest is worked in one piece from the
bottom up with stranded cables on the side
seams. The piece will have three skeins of yarn
attached at the same time from the hem to the
armholes. When working the first stitch of
the Right Side or Left Side Cables, bring the
yarn to be used, for the first stitch below the
yarn just used wrapping them together. This is
an intarsia wrapping technique to anchor the
yarns together - the yarns need to be wrapped
every row at the first stitch worked in the
stranded cables.
