Simple, yet stylish and quite classic, this vest can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Worked mainly in stockinette, the front and back yoke feature a two-color slip stitch pattern that gives the impression of a more complicated design.
Work the body in one piece from the bottom up, with the front ribbed bands worked at the same time as the body. Waist shaping adds a flattering fit to this piece. After dividing the front and back and working the armhole shaping, begin the slip stitch pattern.
