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
