CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The vest is worked back and forth from the bottom up.
The work is divided for fronts and back at the armholes. The shoulders and the back are finished with rib and short rows are worked on the shoulders.
Stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes and rib edges are worked and bound off using the Italian bind off technique.

ABOUT SIZES
Note the large jump between the 2 sizes. This is because the pattern repeat is 12 sts, and the shape of the vest follows the pattern repeat. Also note that size S/M, with its deep armholes, can be worn by a size L person, if you want a close fitting vest.
For a smaller vest (size XS), knit in only one strand of Alpaca 3, on a 6 mm US10 needle following the numbers for size S/M. This gives a half chest circumference of 49.5 cm 19 1/2 inches.
For a larger vest (size XXL – XXXL), knit with Isager Tvinni instead of Isager Spinni on a 7 mm no US equivalent needle following the number for size M/L. This gives a half chest circumference of 66.5 cm 26 1/4 inches.
