Verso Vest
Verso vest is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins with a shaped neckline using increases to form the shoulders. After reaching the desired width, the front and back are separated and worked flat to create the armholes. The pieces are then joined under the arms, and the body is worked in the round to the desired length. A split hem is worked flat to create a modern, structured look. The vest is finished with a ribbed neckline for a polished appearance.
