Ranne Vest

**Pattern Overview:** The Ranne Vest is a stylish and versatile addition to any knitwear collection. With its wide arm openings and high side slits, this vest is designed for comfort and ease of layering over loose-fitting clothing, making it perfect for transitional seasons. **Construction Details:** This beautiful vest is knitted using an innovative top-down technique, beginning at the back and continuing down to the hem. The pattern requires that both front pieces be picked up and knitted separately. To ensure a perfect fit, short rows are incorporated for shoulder shaping, enhancing the vest's overall silhouette. After joining the front and back pieces, the front is worked flat down to the hem for a seamless finish. For the armholes, overlap the underarm stitches of the front and back pieces. Next, pick up and knit these underarm stitches together to create a cohesive armhole that connects both parts of the vest, ensuring durability and a polished look. **Gauge Information:** Achieving the desired fit is essential! For this Ranne Vest pattern, use a 5 mm needle to achieve a gauge of 19 stitches and 21 rows, which equals 10 x 10 cm or 4 x 4 inches in Stockinette stitch after blocking. **Perfect for All Skill Levels:** Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this Ranne Vest pattern is fun to knit. With its straightforward construction and minimal shaping, it's an ideal project to build your skills while creating a fashionable piece.
