This vest is knit in three separate pieces: the back panel, the front left panel, and the front right panel. Each panel is worked flat from the bottom up, using simple decreases to create shaping around the armholes and neckline. The panels are then seamed together. Stitches for the armholes are picked up from the outer edges of the garment and worked in the round. Stitches for the neckband are picked up from the inner edges of the garment and worked flat.
