PATTERN NOTES
This vest is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind off. Ties are sewn onto the open sides, and neckband stitches are picked up and worked in the round. In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn in front.
We recommend choosing your size based on how you’d like the piece to fit at your shoulders. The waist circumference can be adjusted based on how tightly the sides are tied.
Please note that Size Small, 1X, and 4X are written to make the most of 3, 4, and 5 skeins, respectively. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an extra skein as insurance.
