A loose, oversized A-line vest in nine sizes (XS to L and 1X to 5X) to knit in light, airy wool for a multi-season layering piece. Featuring strong cabled panels against a subtly pebbled overall texture, the vest has dropped shoulders with slightly longer armholes for styling with menswear shirts or dolman sleeves. Side seam button bands and choice of two neckline shapes offer more styling options! Hems can be worked with the hi/lo effect shown here or perfectly even, if desired. Knit from hem to shoulder in portable pieces, this garment nonetheless has only two short shoulder seams—the rest is finished with knit-on bands in chunky rib.
