NOTES
This is a sleeveless, drop shoulder style sweater vest, knitted top down. Start the shoulder slope for the back body, and continue to shape the armhole to the bottom of the armhole. Then pickup stitches for the front body to similarly knit as for the back body. After joining the front and the back body, continue knitting in the round to the hem. The neckband is knitted by picking up stitches from the neckline. The armholes are finished in rolled style to
enhance the simplicity of the body.

Choose the size with 8―12” / 20―30 cm of positive ease.
