The Sisal Vest is worked from top to bottom. The back piece is worked back and forth to the bottom of the armholes. Then stitches are picked up along each shoulder and increases are made towards the neck of the front piece. The front pieces are worke individually down to the bottom of the armholes. The front piece and back piece are then joined and worked back and forth. Stitches are afterwards picked up along the armholes, front edge and neckline for the ribbed hems and button bands.
