The rectangular-shaped Cora vest has a combination of stockinette stitch and cable stripes all over the front and the back. It is fun and easy to knit due to its simple construction and the stitches used. The vest is open on the sides, it is designed to layer clothes underneath and play with it as you like. The inspiration for the vest comes from the idea of having the feeling of wearing a sweater when you are not wearing a sweater, and you can show off the clothes underneath.
