Want to add a touch of elegance to any layered outfit in your wardrobe? The Moab Vest features a sweet stitch pattern and a deep scoop neck. Minimal waist shaping keeps things simple, and with easy changes to this pattern, you’ll be making multiple Moab Vests, to wear throughout the seasons.

Moab is knit from the top down, seamlessly, and mostly in one piece. The collar, front edgings, and armhole edgings are added once the body of the vest is complete.
