The Cosy Hey Ho Vest is a cosy layering piece for autumn and winter, perfect to wear over a blouse, shirt or sweater.
It is worked seamlessly from the top down using 4,5 4,0 mm needles. You‘ll begin by knitting the slanted back, then pick up stitches for the right and left fronts. The three pieces are then joined under the arms, and the body is finished flat. The length of the vest can be customized. Finally, the ribbing isadded using 3,5 3,0 mm needles. If desired, button loops can be crocheted and buttons sewn on.
