The Slip Up Vest is an aran weight vest with a lattice pattern worked using twist stitches – no cables needed! The vest is worked flat in two parts – front and back – then seamed and the neck and armhole ribbing is worked in the round. The pattern is written using a combination of written instructions and stitch charts.

Using 4.5mm and 5.5mm needles and aran weight yarn, this is a super quick knit that looks chic and complex.This is an intermediate pattern.
