from Vogue Knitting pattern description

This floral vest is worked back and forth from the ribbed lower edge up with six colors of Koigu Wool Designs’ “KPM”.

Merrick the designer picks up stitches around the front bands and neckline to make the Fair Isle panels on either side of the zipper. Ruffles in a contrasting color are then stitched into these panels for some 3-D pizazz.
