Sometimes all you need is a torso warm up. Vest, while the cropped length makes it perfect for over dresses or with high waist bottoms. Please note that this vest is designed for wearing with a shirt or blouse underneath. If you wish to wear it as a top you may like to decrease the depth of the armholes, by working fewer rows before beginning the neck shaping.
This vest is worked from the bottom up in the round and divided at the armholes to work the front and back separately. The front and back are seamed at the shoulders, with the neckband and armbands picked up and worked in the round. Neckband and armband instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternative method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic- Loop or a shorter circular.
