OVERVIEW
The Alice vest is completely seamless. To make the vest you’ll knit the whole body back and forth bottom-up until you separate for the armholes, where you’ll knit flat. The shoulders are joined and then you’ll add the neck and armhole i-cords. The vest has a regular fit, however it is open at the front, so you can tight it or leave it loose.

Optionally you can add embroidery.
