Heroic Vest
Errata RLI, RLPI, LLI and LLPI were accidentally omitted from the glossary. Please see the errata for their instructions.
The Heroic Vest is knit in the round from the bottom up, with a seamless pouch pocket added to the front. Made in a bulky yarn, it knits up really quick for that feeling of instant gratification. The moss stitch texture makes the vest extra cozy and fun to wear. I love sleeveless, bulky vests. They keep my core super warm, without over-heating. Though, if you want sleeves, pick up stitches and shape the cap then determine the sleeve length following the tips included in the book
