Crossandra Vest is knitted top down, starting with the back piece which is worked back and forth (while shaping with short rows) till it’s finished. After that sts are picked up across the shoulders to form the front piece till it’s finished. Finally, neck, side edging and side ties are knitted.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.
