City Waistcoat is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with short rows for the shoulders. Then, the shoulders/fronts are worked from stitches that are added along the top of the slanting parts of the back yoke. The body with buttonholes is worked back and forth. Then the edging is added.

City Waistcoat is designed to have approx. 5-10cm/2-4in of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best.

For example, if you measure 90cm/35½in around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should choose size S. This size has a finished bust circumference of 98cm/38¾in which would give you a desired 8cm/3¼in of positive ease. However, if you prefer more ease, you can opt for size M. For larger sizes, the ease will be smaller.

The pattern is available in English and Dutch languages.
