METHOD
The vest is designed so that the V neck can be worn at either the front or back. The vest is worked bottom-up in the round. The ribbed edges at the hem, armholes and neckline are worked in two strands of E yarn on 4,5 mm US 7 needles. The body is worked in a single strand of E yarn using 7mm US 10.5 needles to make the body light and airy. As the body is very stretchy, the length is given in rnds rather than cm inches.
Note that when
working the ribbed edges, the vest will ‘pull’ together. See pictures on page 3. In the photo, the vest is worked with a tubular cast on and bind off.
