This charming vest is expertly crafted in the round up to the armholes, after which it transitions to back-and-forth rows, allowing for flexibility and ease of wear.

The vest showcases an eye-catching 2-1 stripe sequence that adds a touch of uniqueness to your knitting.

Our pattern includes detailed instructions to guide you through this process, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
To accommodate different knitting styles, we provide comprehensive instructions for some of the more complex sections of the pattern in two easy-to-follow formats: a summarized version for those who are comfortable keeping track on their own and a row-by-row chart specifically designed for knitters who prefer detailed guidance.
Our vest is showcased in size M, featuring approximately two inches of negative ease for a fitted appearance. This adaptable design is perfect for layering and can easily be styled for casual outings or more dressed-up occasions.
