LionBrand.com Construction Notes:

The Vest is formed from a rectangle, with openings for armholes. The foundation row forms the front and neck edges, and the last row forms the lower edge.

Rows are worked from the front edge, over the shoulder, and down to the back edge.

Increases are worked on either side of top back to shape the shoulders and causes the front edge of the rectangle to curve (around the neck).

Edging is worked in shell stitch to finish. Construction schematics are provided.

Also available in the Vanna’s Choice section of the Lion Brand site.
