PATTERN NOTES
This vest is worked in pieces from the bottom up.Each size has a separate chart for the Front piece. Each size has a separate chart for the lower Back piece. Be sure to follow the correct charts for your size.
The moving lines on this vest are created by working cable crosses. These cable crosses range from moving the 3-stitch "vines" 1 stitch over at a time to 3 stitches over at a time. Be sure to pay close attention to which cable crossed is used on each row.
