Colorful Ribbings Vest
Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2009: “Vest is worked in rnds to armholes on circular needle. This technique allows to change color on any row and not worry about carrying colors along one side. When armhole and scoop neck shaping starts, Vest is divided to Front and Back and worked in rows on straight needles with MC only - it makes double shaping easier. Scoop neck shaping starts on the same level as armhole shaping which gives enough space to make wide ribbing. The corrugated ribbing balances with colors of Fair Isle body and adds more color at upper part of body worked in MC only.”
