The pattern is for two lengths: short and long (tunic-length). Two contrasting colors of Douceur et Soie (#9100 snow and #9900 jet) are used in a slip-stitch pattern. Uses two strands held together of each color. The short version uses between 4 and 6 balls of each color, while the long version uses 5 to 7 balls of each color. The pattern has a schematic and written directions plus a photograph of the finished vest. The pattern is worked flat from the bottom up with a back piece and two front pieces.
