The hard part was figuring out the collar and to remember to reverse the side where the short rows go when making the 2nd piece. If I make this again, I will make it about 3” longer.

This vest is definitely worth making if only for the mental challenge. I recruited my MIL and DH to help me figure out. We had a lot of fun puzzling this together!

Note: I wanted to use up some left over yarn. The burgundy half is knitted out of the Lion Brand Wool-Ease. The other 1/2 is knitted out of Vanna’s Choice. Arg, I do not like Vanna’s Choice - it feels plasticky on my hands.
