Andante Vest

This beautifully designed vest pattern is worked from the top down, starting with the back to help you get acquainted with the chart and enjoy the intricate texture created by a harmonious blend of knit and purl stitches. After completing the back armhole shaping, the back stitches are placed on hold while you seamlessly transition to the left front by picking up stitches and working in the opposite direction. The left front neckline features delicate shaping achieved through strategically placed increases, while the armhole increases for the left front mirror those of the back, ensuring a cohesive design. Once the left neckline shaping is finished, you'll pick up stitches for the right front, mirroring the armhole shaping to maintain balance throughout the vest. After completing the shaping for both sides, the back and front pieces are joined together to create a continuous design. The remainder of the knitting is done in the round, culminating in a stylish 5cm of 1/1 ribbing that provides both comfort and structure. To add the perfect finishing touches, a 1/1 ribbing is incorporated at the neckline and each armhole, resulting in a tailored and structured look that is both fashionable and functional. This vest pattern is ideal for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Perfect for various occasions, this vest makes for a lovely addition to any wardrobe!
