A traditional Shetland sleeveless vest designed by J&S’s own Sandra Manson. This vest is knit in the round to the armholes, then you can choose to either cast on steek stitches at the armholes and neck and continue in the round (later securing, cutting and fastening down the steeks),or work flat in rows on the front and back separately. Instructions are given for continuing in the round only.
