Belle Vest
The Belle vest has a boxy fit, is cropped and tighter at the waist. There is a seamless option too, without rolled armholes and neck.
To make the vest you’ll knit the body in the round until you separate for the armholes, where you’ll knit flat. The shoulders are joined and then you’ll add the neck and armhole ribbings.
