Vests are best! Ever since completing my original Cambridge Vest, which features a crew neck, I knew I needed a v-neck version. I love how the v-neck adds lots of options in terms of layering and depending on what you choose to pair it with you can create a new and dynamic neck line that really draws the eye up. Endlessly versatile. My vest phase is definitely not over!

This pattern is written at a classic worsted weight gauge. I opted to achieve gauge by combining different weights of yarn but you could also chose a single strand of worsted weight yarn.
