A sleeveless vest with a striking chevron panel framed by beaded rib columns that adds visual interest without fuss. The choice between a traditional ribbed neckband and a cozy foldover turtleneck means you can customize it to your style. Perfect for layering when you need an extra bit of warmth without the bulk. Alcove is knit in the round from the bottom up with a 3-Needle Bind Off joining the shoulders.

Center panel is both charted and written out.
