Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2009: “This easy-to-knit vest uses self-striping sock yarn to create a faux Fair Isle design. Don’t worry, the patterns on the back and fronts don’t line up. Just sit back and see what colors come next. The vest features garter stitch neck and armhole bands and loop buttonholes.”
