Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL ● Level: 1 of 5 (beginner friendly) ● The Jollas vest can be used in a multitude of ways. Combine it with a shirt or blazer, or wear it as a top. The Jollas vest is worked seamlessly top down.
First, cast on sts for the back and work the back of the neck.
Then, pick up sts for fronts and shape the neckline. The body is joined in underarm. Hem ribbing is worked in flat, front and back separately, so there will be a split. Finally, finish the neckline and armholes with ribbing.

SIZE GUIDE
The vest is designed to be worn with approx. 5 cm / 2” of negative or positive ease at bust. That means that the vest should shape your figure and not to be oversized as it can be worn also as a top.
First, measure your own bust. Then, add or remove approx. 5 cm / 2” of your bust circumference. Compare that number to the finished measurements (above) and choose the closest size.
You can also measure your favourite vest or top to determine the amount of ease you prefer.
