Nostalgia for the 1980s and Princess Diana’s fashion are back again—and what’s more iconic than a stranded colorwork vest? With the huge range of Palette color choices, the possibilities for this classic three-color vest are endless.

The Underspoken Vest is a unisex V-neck vest, worked in the round with optional waist-shaping from the bottom up to the armholes, then split and worked flat for the back, left front, and right front. After blocking, the shoulder seams are sewn together. Then the armhole edgings and neckbands are worked in ribbing.
