The Everyday Vest in Merino No. 5 will be your favorite layer. With an easy knit-over-the-shoulder design you’ll have this knit up in no time. Our merino wool is so soft, not scratchy like regular wool.

The body of this vest is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up. The back panel is worked first. Without casting off, the first front panel is worked. The second front panel is worked after. Stitches for the armholes are picked up from the outer edge of the garment and worked in the round. Stitches for the neckband are picked up from the inner edge of the garment and worked flat. Pockets are optionally added.
