Vice versa
About the design…
Vice versa - it probably can’t describe this vest better!
Playing with different knitting directions, and the exciting things that happens when they meet.
The front pieces are knitted sideways from the middle and out to armhole, where decreases shapes both the V-neck and the shoulder-line. After this, stitches are picked up on the shoulders, and the back piece is knitted top-down with decreases that shapes the shoulder-line. The back is wider than the front, and therefore visible on the front piece. The sides are knitted together and the 2 knitting directions meet. Finally edging - and you’re done, completely seamlessly!
