Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2009: “This unusual vest was designed by Marianne Henderson as part of her Level 2 submission in the Master Hand Knitting Program. Although an original design is not required, Marianne went the extra step with this garment. It features an all over cable pattern, broad ribbing and a button front. Since this garment and pattern are for a requirement in the Masters Program, only one size is required. Also, the pattern does not include designer notes, technical tips or a chart.”
