P A T T E R N
The Maiah vest is a kimono style wrap around vest. It is worked flat, all in one piece in garter stitch from the bottom of the back upwards. Short rows are worked in the lower back to make it slightly longer than the front. The vest is finished by sewing the sides together. The hood is attached by picking up stitches and the vest is buttoned on either side.
