This Business Casual Vest is for the Young and Young at Heart. It is stylish and comfortable. Wether at the office or out for brunch with friends, it’s the perfect choice.
Business Casual Vest is for the Intermediate Knitter. It is worked in stockinette stitch and ribbing in three pieces from the bottom up. The front bands are knitted in ribbing simultaneously with the front pieces. Slipped stitches are worked for smooth edging. Side increases are worked for shaping and armhole decreases are partially visible to add extra detail. Stitches are picked up around the armhole and the bands are worked in the rounds.
Zipper is sewn in by hand (video tutorial available) and only covered half way down on the inside with a knitted band to avoid bulking at the lower part of the torso.
