Riverbank Vest

The Riverbank Vest features an allover braided cable, a garter stitch shawl collar, fun buttons, and an easy shape perfect for layering. The body is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes. The right front, back, and left front are individually knit flat and then seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up around each armhole to work ribbing, then stitches are picked up around the neckline to work the shawl collar and buttonband. Finally, the buttons are sewn to the front. Choose a size that provides approximately 4-6” of positive ease in the chest.
