The Easy Vest is all about simplicity, shape, and construction. Knitted from the bottom up using 1x1 rib trims and stocking stitch for the body, it’s easy to knit and even easier to wear.

This pattern provides easy-to-follow detailed instructions using the following techniques: Long-tail cast on, 1x1 rib stitch, stocking stitch, cast off, make 1, cast off in ribbing, picking up stitches, and invisible seaming.
