Sola Vest

Sola Vest is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is worked first to the base of the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the right and left fronts, which are worked separately to the base of the armholes. The fronts and back are joined and worked flat to the hem. Stitches are then picked up and worked in the round for the armhole edging. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted for the front band. The vest is fastened with two pair of i-cords.
