A top down sweater vest, with leaf motifs--

I began with a basic top down raglan pattern, and tweaked here and there
First--a provisional cast on (and a collar to come) then the leaf motif, and re-positioning the increases, and adding garter stitches…Until I had a total new design!

Finished up with a nice deep ribbed collar (over 6 inches), short cap sleeves and hem. Fancy hooks and eyes with a leaf motif for the closure.. (still needs to be blocked)
