THE PATTERN
26 page comprehensive pdf pattern with embedded links for materials and techniques. Multiple diagrams added to explain stitch marker placement and overall comprehension of the pattern.

MY VERY VEST DRESS
My Very Vest Dress is a classic tartan print, v-neck sweater vest dress. The vest is knitted from the bottom up, in the round until the armholes. At the armholes, the garment breaks into front and back panels, which are knit flat.

THE OVERSIZED FIT
The vest is knit with positive ease to give an oversized fit. The size chart (see listing pictures) will show what size to knit in order to give this oversized fit. If a tighter fit is desired, size down.

CUSTOMIZABLE LENGTH
The length of the dress is completely customizable. The vest can be as short as a cropped vest, or as long as a maxi dress.
