Diamonds and Pearls Vest

This beautifully crafted design is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, ensuring a smooth and elegant finish. The body of the garment is constructed as a single piece, extending up to the underarms. At this point, the back and front sections are expertly divided and worked separately up to the shoulders. To achieve a clean and professional look, the shoulders are joined using a three-needle bind-off technique, which creates a strong and tidy seam. Once the shoulders are complete, the neck and armband trim is picked up and worked in the round, providing a polished edge that enhances the overall aesthetic of the piece.

GAUGE: Achieve a precise gauge of 20 stitches and 34 rows/rnds = 4" / 10 cm in Seed stitch when using the larger needles specified in the pattern. Remember, taking time to check your gauge can save you time and frustration later in the knitting process. Proper gauge ensures that your finished garment fits as intended and matches the design specifications. Enjoy the process of creating this unique piece while letting your knitting skills shine!
