Slipped Stitch Vest

Worked in one piece this versatile accessory is easy to knit and style. Starting with the front you slip stitches to create a simple texture in the fabric. The neck is then shaped in two stages before the piece is joined again for the back. This pattern guides you through the process of dividing and joining stitches to create a garment without also managing shaping.
