Lion Brand Construction Notes:

Vest is worked in 3 pieces - Back, Left and Right Front. The Hood is worked by picking up and knitting stitches around the neckline.

Shaping (by decreasing stitches) is worked as part of Cable Decreases.

Markers are used when working the Left and Right Fronts to indicate placement of front band and Cable Decreases.
