The Evian Vest, designed by Kim Guzman, is the perfect accent over just about any summer look. Knitted side-to-side with short rows, the Evian is so effortless. The short row shaping is ideal for those of you who are new to short-rowing. It’s so easy and, once you get a few rows down, you won’t have to count stitches or rows for the rest of the piece.
