Woods Road Vest is a woman’s seamless buttoned vest that uses aran/bulky weight yarn. It is knit from the bottom-up and all in one-piece to the underarm, then fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders. Stitches are picked up and worked in 2x2 ribbing for the button bands and armhole bands.

Pattern is found in the “Layering Season” fall 2011 e-book but can also be purchased separately.
