Sometimes subtle touches are enough to give a fresh look to a classic style.  In this simple vest, Veronik Avery modifies the cabled V-neck design popular during the early 1990s by removing the ribbing at the lower body edge, scaling the fit to body-hugging proportions, alternating six- and eight-row cable twists, and working very narrow ribbings around the armholes and neck.  She pulls it all together with a contemporary tweed yarn called Everest.
