Check your tension carefully as this vest is worked on a much larger hook than the ball band suggests to make use of its plump airiness.

You can make the body of the vest longer or shorter by working more or fewer rounds up to underarm. Vest is worked flat in two pieces and seamed, with the front being slightly shorter than the back.
