Koala Vest has a roomy body that allows you to wear it over outerwears.
It is worked in Bubble stitch throughout from the top down. The back is worked first entirely, then stitches are picked up along the shoulders for each front worked one by one. The sides are sewn using a tapestry needle and to finish, the front edges are reinforced and a button is sewn.
＜Customizing suggestion＞
Replace the snap button with an ordinary button. Make a buttonhole beforehand in this case.

Koala Vest はアウターの上から着用できるようにワイドな身幅にし, 丈は短くデザインしています.
全体はバブルステッチで編みます.トップダウンで後ろ身頃を編み, 肩を拾い目して右前身頃と左前身頃を編みます. 身頃脇はとじ針で綴じます. 最後は前たての裏面を補強しスナップボタンを付けて仕上げます.
＜アレンジの提案＞
ボタンホールあらかじめ開けておき普通のボタンに変えても良いでしょう. (ボタンホールの位置は, 上に重なる方の前身頃の襟ぐり段43以降で決めると良い)
