This oversized vest is a super comfy, easy slip on pullover vest with an ample cowl collar knitted in the same pattern as the front and back panels. This hip length vest features a fun and unusual open pattern that is easy to learn, ribbing along sleeve and bottom edge, and is worked in the round, with slight shaping from bust to hip.

Skill level: Advanced Beginner

Construction: Vest is worked in the round from the bottom up, divided at armholes with front and back worked flat to neck edge. Seamed at shoulders, then patterned cowl is picked up at neckline, to give the neck edge some structure. The body is worked in stockinette stitch with the open-weave pattern in center front and center back. The ribbing on sleeve edge is picked up and knitted. The Openwork Pattern is both written and charted.
