NOTES
Worn as an oversized vest, falling is an extra layer of warmth. It is worked from the bottom up in two pieces. The increases from the waist create a dropped shoulder sleeve. The armholes are edged with Stockinette and Slip stitches which are worked at the same time as the front and back pieces. The collar is picked up and worked flat using German Short rows to build up the Henley front and incorporate the vertical buttonholes. Choose the size with 8-14” /20-35.5 cm of positive ease at waist and 18-24” / 46-61 cm of positive ease at chest.
