This vest starts with a cable, and stitches are picked up along the long edges to work the bodice and the ribbed body. Everything is worked flat except for the arm ribbing where stitches are picked up and worked in the round. Sew-in velcro or snaps for back closure.

Errata: For anyone who may have printed this pattern between 1/17/11 and 1/30/11 -- There are 21 live stitches when starting the neck ribbing, not 20. I’m sorry for the confusion and the erroneous errata :)
