"I've loved Noro striped scarves for a long time. For me making a scarf is about as pleasurable as sticking vinegar soaked toothpicks under my toenails. Ok, maybe not that bad, but close.

But I wanted to capture that stripy look so I created this vest.

To keep the continuity of the colors, the neck is steeked. I know many people are afraid of this technique, but it's really quite simple and this is a good easy piece to practice your skill. Actually, if you swatch and save your swatch, practice your steeking on that and then head for the vest. You'll be a pro in no time."
