The garment is worked back and forth in
sections and sewn together afterwards.

This pattern offers two versions as a vest and jacket. Both have the same interesting stitch pattern, but the jacket adds detailing with buttons, contrasting stripes, and a contrasting crocheted trim. Note that the vest is worked with Bulky Lopi while the cardigan is worked with one strand each of Álafoss Lopi and Létt-Lopi.
