GO VEST is a sweater vest in Aran weight yarn, using one-color-brioche stitches to create a large V-neck on front and back side. A vest can be very useful to layer it with your clothes !
The vest is worked seamlessly over the shoulders, bottom up and flat, there are only two side seams to be done.
The project is worked up quickly, the pattern is easy to follow and memorize.
Use neutral colors, tonal or solid and natural fibre yarns. The pattern is so addictive, I could not resist to knit two vests in one go!
