ABOUT

The Olive Basic vest begins to be created from the down, working with two pieces (back and front). Start with the front side – knitting up flat. In the top of the knitting vest make the shoulder slope with the German Rows. Do the same in the another part of shoulder. Leave the sts open on the needle.

Work with the back side exactly the same. Connect the two part og the kitting vest with an invisible seam. Knit and sew 4 ties on the both sides.

Prior to embarking on this creative journey, it’s recommended to knit a swatch to ascertain if the suggested needle size yields the desired gauge.
