From pattern description:


“Close-fitting scoop neck, Fair Isle and rib vest with belt.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2005:


“Melissa Matthay’s retro design has flair to spare. A stockinette belt cinches the long K2P2 ribbing that reaches to the Fair Isle yoke. Knit in ‘Creative Focus Worsted’ by Nashua Handknits/Westminster Fibers.”
