This vest is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start by casting on the back sts and work straight down, then increases are worked on both sides to shape the arm opening. Next, sts are picked up for the shoulders and the neckline and arm opening are shaped with increases. The vest is joined in the round under the arms and is worked straight down. The neckline features a rolled hem in stockinette stitch, the arm openings and body ribbing are worked in half twisted rib.
