A quick and fun knit, cosy and festive.

VESTiVE is worked seamlessly from the top down.
You start working the back and shape the back neck with short rows. Continue to work the back until the length of the armhole. Then you pick up the stitches for the fronts and work the neckline symmetrically to join the both fronts and work until the length of the armhole. Join back and fronts to work the body in the round down to the bottom ribbing. Pick up the neck sts and then the sleeve sts to work the ribbings.
