This straightforward yet sophisticated-looking colorwork vest features the all-over classic stranded colorwork pattern on the body only, eliminating the need for steeking.

CONSTRUCTION:

This garment is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, featuring a simple colorwork pattern all over the body (only two colors are worked at a time). The vest is worked in the round to the underarms, then the front and the back are worked flat separately. The shoulders are joined using a three-needle-bind off, then stitches are picked up at the neckline and armholes to work a ribbed edging.
