Your Price: $8.00

This vest is designed to be a flattering wardrobe staple. Subtle waist shaping makes a large impact due to its placement at the interface of the ribbed side panels. With integral armhole and front bands there is no picking up stitches, and the construction is almost seamless. (Neckband is seamed to back of neck.) You'll want to make one in several colors. The pattern is 7 pages long and has been test knit and professionally tech edited. It is appropriate for knitters who can knit, purl, work decreases and increases and keep track of multiple shapings. if you want to customize your fit to accommodate your own unique figure, the pattern includes a page of helpful hints, as well as some additional measurements to supplement those included on the schematic, to help you when modifying this design.
