Ohh! I love sweets!
Whipped cream, sponge cake, colorful fruits…
And, I’m always so happy and excited when I eat cakes!
Are you either?
I designed a vest to remind you (and me) of that excitement.

I hope you enjoy knitting it.
Happy knitting!

This pattern is worked in the round and seamlessly from the top down.
First, a few cable stitches and short rows create the neck and shoulder line.
And after that, you have to work back and forth to create the armhole opening.
Then, the front and back are joined at the underarms and worked in the round for the body with mosaic knitting, stockinette st, and rib stitch.
Sleeve sts are picked up from the armhole and worked in the round.
