Lauren Vest
Classic V-neck styling with slipped stitch ribbing and simple lace panels combine with a cozy alpaca/wool blend for a perfect layering piece.
The body is worked in the round from the bottom up, divided to begin the V-neck, then divided again at the armholes to work the back and both halves of the front separately. Short-rows are used to shape the shoulders.
When beginning the neck shaping, stitches are cast on for the left front neck border so the neckband is worked along with the fronts.
After the multi-stitch bind-offs to begin the armhole shaping, you’ll pick up stitches along the shaped edge, then cast on 5 more and use those 5 stitches to work the ribbing as an applied edging until all the picked up stitches have been decreased out of work. The remaining armhole shaping is completed by working single-stitch decreases between the front/back and the edging.
The back neckband is also worked as an applied edging, then the stitches grafted together, or joined using 3-Needle BO.
