Perfect for layering, this sleeveless vest features a flattering V-neckline and works equally well as a vest or a tunic. What sets this vest apart is the asymmetrical hemline, with the back being slightly longer than the front and the side splits that enhance mobility and create a sense of flow and movement when you wear it. Delicately woven into the fabric, the leaves pattern gives a nod to nature’s grace, bringing a touch of the outdoors to your wardrobe.

This sweater comes with three length options: cropped (high hip), medium (low hip) and tunic.

Lace pattern is only charted.

Construction
The ribbed hem that feeds straight into the lace pattern is worked in two pieces to form the splits, with longer Back hem. Then the Body is worked in the round from the lower edge to the base of the V-neck and the underarms, where the two sides of the front and the back are divided and worked separately to the shoulders. Collar and armhole ribbings are picked up and worked in the round once shoulders are seamed.
