The Ranne Vest features wide arm openings and high side slits. It can easily be layered over loose-fitting clothing.

It’s knitted by starting at the back from the top down to the hem. Then, both fronts are picked up and knitted separately, some short rows are worked for shoulder shaping, then working from the top down to the edge of the V-neck. After joining both pieces, front is worked in flat to the hem.

Overlap the underarm stitches of the front and back pieces, pick up and knit the ribbing along with the armhole. This way, the front and back pieces are connected.
