PATTERN NOTES
This vest is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The front and back hem are worked separately, then are joined in the round for the body. The body is worked in the round to the underarms, then the front and back are separated and worked flat. The shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind-off. Stitches for the neckband and armhole edging are picked up and worked in the round. In this pattern, work all slipped stitch purlwise with yarn held in back.
