The Harmony Vest is the perfect blend of classic style and feminine charm. This slightly oversized vest is intended to have 10 to 15 cm of positive ease with a feature of beautiful cable details around the waist ribbing and delicate ribbons running through the body, making it an eye-catching addition to any wardrobe. Designed with adventurous beginners in mind, this pattern is ideal for those with a solid foundation in knitting or anyone eager to start reading knitting charts. The simple yet elegant cable design provides a satisfying challenge and a stunning result.

This V-neck vest is made bottom-up in one piece with seamless shoulders attachments. We start by the cable ribbing and continue with the body in stockinette stitch until reaching the armpits. Then, the project will be divided in three panels (back, front left and front right) to continue in stockinette with decreases for the shoulders and V-neck shaping. After seaming together the top of the shoulders we pick up stitches for the 1x1 ribbing on sleeves and neck, adding here button holes. And finally, we end with a italian bind-off.
