Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

Correction for the Honey Comb cable option in back is to R2. Should read K1, P2, K2, repeat - to the last st, K1.

Line by line written instructions. Need to know stockinette and simple cable. Garment is knit in one piece with only shoulder seams to sew. I use circular needles with 36 inch cable.

After piece is blocked measurements are:

Shoulder - 4 ½ inches
Across back - 11.5 inches
Length in back from neck to bottom - 25 inches
Front length from shoulder to bottom points -32inches
Around bust line when laid flat - 53 inches
Armholes from top to bottom -8.5 inches
Under arm to bottom -16.5 inches

It now has a collar that is 4.5 inches wide (optional) and cable design upper back (optional). The yardage mentioned is for the basic vest without the collar and cable designed upper back portion. Photos are of the vest with all options and will need more yarn.
