The vest Charlie is knitted with double strands from top to bottom, first the back piece is knitted, then the shoulder parts from the cast-on edge. With short rows, the shoulders are sloped to ensure a good fit. The shoulder parts are then joined together, forming the V-neckline. Finally, the body is knitted by joining the shoulder parts and the back piece, finishing in twisted ribbing with one strand. Along the V-neckline and armholes, edges are knitted with twisted ribbing (one strand). The fit is relatively tight at the top since the model is straight, so you should choose a size with a bust measurement approximately 3-5 cm larger than your own.
