This vest has it all! Its classic, fun, interesting, and most importantly can be worn with just about anything.
You can wear this alone as a tank, over long sleeves, short sleeves and even a dress.
There is a little extra detail of color at the bottom trim that is optional but I happen to love it.

It is knit with a chunky/ bulky weight yarn and the cable pattern is addictive.

This vest is knit flat, not in the round.

Written row by row, no charts.
