Never New Vest

The Never New Vest is familiar and unexpected all at once. With gentle diagonal stretch for a body-skimming personalized fit, the vest is knit in pieces - front and back are knit separately, then seamed at the shoulders. The sides are then created by picking stitches and adding ribbing, then finally seaming the garment at the sides.
