This is a pattern for a stranded work waistcoat worked in the round, from the bottom up, and with steeks. You may use corrugated or single-colour rib.
This pattern is intended for knitters who are familiar with complex colourwork charts and understand gauge/repeat and its relation to finished size.
Finished size of your garment is determined both by needle size/gauge AND number of side panel repeats. I have included approximate suggested finished sizes, but there is room for change (any changes may result in changes of yarn amounts). There is a brief tutorial about the Ladder Back Jacquard technique as well as written and link instructions for steeking.
yarn:
2 Ply Jumper Weight by, Jamieson & Smith; Fingering; 100% Shetland; 125yds (115m)/25g

Some knitters work stranded and corrugated rib at different gauges than single colour - change needles, as needed, to keep gauge the same throughout.
