This vest is worked bottom up in the round until the front and back are separated to make the armholes. Once done, the front and the back are joined using 3-needle bind off. Next, the ribbing for the arms is added by picking up stitches using circular needles. Finally, the V-shape neckline ribbing is added by picking up stitches with circular needles.
