Perfect for the office or casual days out, this vest is very versatile!
Begin by working the back from the top down in k1, p1 rib and using short-rows to shape the shoulders Pick up stitches along the side and work the front from the side toward the center, casting on stitches for the armhole and increasing stitches at the shoulder. Once the shoulder width has been reached, work the other front, then pick up stitches along the back neck and join with the other front to work the collar, using short-rows to shape the back neck edge for a better fit. The only seams are for the shoulders, so it keeps the finishing to a minimum!
