This is an asymmetrical vest with the front and back pieces differing in design. It features buttons on the sides that add a casual flair to the outfit. The hem is widened to accommodate a variety of body shapes more comfortably.
Tools used: The main body is knitted using 3.5mm needles, while the ribbed parts are knitted with 3.0mm needles.

Gauge: The knitting gauge for the main body is 26.7 stitches x 37.7 rows per 10 cm, and for the ribbed parts, it is 27.3 stitches x 36.6 rows per 10 cm.

Yarn Used: Consinee brand 100% cashmere yarn.

Knitting Method: The main parts of the front and back are knitted from bottom to top. The ribbing at the edges, armholes, collar, and the turning corners at the back are knitted separately. The ribbing density on both sides of the front and back pieces matches the main body and is stitched together after completion.

Details of the ribbing at the turning corners of the back can be seen in the supplementary illustrations.

The sides of the front and back pieces are not stitched together; instead, they are fastened with buttons. The number of buttons and the placement of buttonholes can be decided according to personal preference.

This design not only provides better shaping but also adds adjustability, ensuring the garment fits well on various body types while maintaining stylistic flexibility.
