Note: The pattern for the Fluffy Border Bag is included in the last few pages of the vest pattern.

The Fluffy Border Vest is knitted by starting at the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Then, both fronts are picked up and knitted separately to the armhole, and then the front and back are joined and knitted in flat down to the hem. 


Regarding the border, I highly recommend using the fluffiest yarn possible. The knitting method for the border is designed to accommodate the uniqueness of fluffy yarn. If you are using regular yarn, it won’t be able to replicate the same results as shown in the sample.
