I love the slim cables, and how well the tiny openwork ribs set them off! The vest is worked in the round to the armholes, the neckband is worked along with the neck shaping, and the shoulders are joined with 3-Needle Bind-Off, so the only finishing is the armhole edging.

This vest is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders.

The cable and lace pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
