Yarn
Fingering weight yarn
Approximately 585 (700, 850, 1005) (1170, 1385, 1605) yards / 535 (640, 780, 920) (1070, 1270, 1470) m
2 (2, 3, 3) (3, 4, 4) skeins of amirisu Swing (100% superwash Spanish merino wool; 500 yards / 460 m, 100g)
Sample is shown in Mushroom.

Needles
A US 3 (3.25 mm) 24” / 60 cm (or longer) circular needle
A US 6 (4 mm) 24” / 60 cm (or longer) circular needle
A set of US 3 (3.25 mm) preferred needles for working small circumferences in the round.
Or, needles required to obtain gauge

Gauge (after blocking)
24 stitches & 32 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Braid Stitch pattern with US 6 (4 mm) needle.

Sizes
Finished bust measurements: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) = 31¼ (36½, 41¾, 47) (52¼, 57½, 62¾)” / 79.5 (93, 106, 119.5) (133, 146, 159.5) cm.
The sample is in size in size 2 on a 5’ 5” / 166 cm tall model with 5½” / 14 cm positive ease at bust.

Tools
Removable stitch markers, tapestry needle, waste yarn, 6 buttons. The sample uses ⅝”/ 15 mm diameter buttons. Choose buttons that go through the buttonholes rather snugly.

Note
The vest is knitted flat from the top starting from the back neck. After increases have been made for shoulders, the back is knitted to the bottom of the armholes with armhole shaping. The body is worked straight to the hem before it is finished with ribbing. The front shoulders are picked up and worked separately before they are joined at the front neck. The front is then worked the same way as the back to the hem. Armholes are finished with ribbing, Along each side, button bands are worked. Finally, the neck is finished with ribbing.

The stitch pattern consists of repetitions of “knit 3 stitches together through the back loop”. A yarn with good elasticity will make a smoother knitting process than a yarn with little elasticity.

If you are using a yarn with good elasticity such as Amirisu Swing, before blocking, your vest may look smaller than it is intended to be. After soaking and while it is wet, the vest may seem to stretch a lot. Carefully block your vest to measurements in the schematic
to keep the intended size and shape after the vest is dry. It is important to make a swatch in Braid Stitch pattern to understand how your gauge differs before and after blocking.

Sizes
出来上がり寸法: 胸囲 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) = 79.5 (93, 106, 119.5) (133, 146, 159.5) cm.
サイズ2のサンプルを身長166 cmのモデルが余裕14 cmで着用.

Tools
段数マーカー(6), 綴じ針, 別糸, ボタン (6) サンプルでは直径15 mmのボタンを使用. ボタンホールを通る大きさのボタンを選ぶこと.

Note
ベストは後ろ襟から編み始め, トップダウンで往復編みで編む. 肩の増目をしたら, 後ろ身頃の袖ぐりを増目しながら袖下まで編む. 身頃は裾まで増減なしに編み, 裾のゴム編みで仕上げる. 前身頃は肩の目を拾い, 前襟をつなげるまでは別々に編む. それから後ろ身頃と同様に裾まで編む. 袖ぐりはゴム編みで仕上げる, 両脇に沿って, ボタンバンドを編んで, 最後に襟をゴム編みで仕上げる.

模様編みは右上3目一度のねじり目 (表目) の繰り返しで編む. 弾力のある糸で編めば編みやすい.

amirisuのSwingのように弾力のある糸を使うと, ブロッキング前は, ベストが意図したサイズよりも小さく見えるかもしれないが水通しをすると, かなり伸びる. 乾いて意図したサイズ, 形になるように, 寸法通り, 注意してブロッキングする. ブロッキング前後でゲージがどれぐらい変わるかを確かめるため, Braid Stitch模様のスワッチ を必ず編むこと.
