Elevate the Ordinary

One of the best things about being a knitter is adding small touches to a project that take it from super simple to special. This vest’s garter side sections flow neatly into the garter armhole edging, making it a little snazzier than a plain vest, while remaining in the category of basic, unfussy wardrobe staples.

Elevate the Ordinary is worked in the round up to the armhole divide, then worked flat for front and back. The shoulders are finished with a three-needle bind off, and because the armhole edging is worked concurrently with the body, the only finishing needed is the ribbing around the neck.
