Prepster Vest
errata: p.99: Row 2 of Neckline shaping for both fronts should end with “k2” instead of “k1.” Then, work Right Front and Left Front Neckline Shaping a total of 10 times (ALL SIZES). Continue with final Row 1 decrease as directed, ending with stitch counts as written.
Cabling is my personal favorite technique. I love touching the fabric and watching the pattern emerge as it progresses. Cabling is paired with fingering weight in this design; it’s light and squishy and won’t be too hot during transitional weather or light winters despite its Aran appearance. The wide wale rib on the back gives the knitter a break from cabling and also provides a lot of stretch for growing. Shown in size 6.

Pattern Notes
- This pattern is geared toward the experienced knitters. To complete it, you should be comfortable working with multiple charts and doing work at the same time
- The vest is worked from the bottom up, in the round, until the armholes, and is completed back and forth.
