Notes

This knit up really quickly! It’s a 30th birthday present for Daniel. He’s calling it the mullet of the sweater vest world: business in the front and a party in the back!

Used the Peter Easy vest pattern (so it’s posted twice on my projects page) with the fornicating deer chart on the back and the Baby Norgi chart on the front.

Knit in the round up until the armpits (88 stitches each side), and used a three needle bind-off for the shoulder seams.

I did the armhole ribbing as written at first but it was way too big--lots of gaping and it flared out. After a few tries, we came up with 96 stitches as a better fit.
