A simple unisex vest with a classic cable structure that integrates the broken rib stitch from the neck and shoulders into the cable pattern. Perfect for “cable-beginners”, the cable pattern mainly uses non-twisted travelling stitches (a cable needle will only be needed every 24 rows), and all WS rows are worked in purl st.

Pattern Notes
The seamless vest is worked top-down. The collar and shoulders are worked in the round, then divided into the Front and Back to be worked back and forth in rows creating the armholes. German short rows shape the Back. The Front and Back are rejoined and worked in the round until the Hem is bound off.
