The inspiration for this vest is from a similar design for babies, made 2018 - also called North-vest.
The North-Vest is knitted in the round, from the bottom and up. First a wide rib, then stockinette stitch with colorwork until the armhole, and then again rib pattern in the upper part. A special feature in this design is the ribbing, that continues up in the neckband.
An easy project - even if you are new in colorwork.
