This is a basic V-neck vest worked in thick, cozy New Teddy Wool. Instead of complicated short-row shaping, the shoulder slope is created by increasing stitches on the back, then picking up stitches to work the front panels, and finally knitting the body in the round in a top-down style. Top-down garments are convenient because length adjustments are simple and there’s no seaming. With the full video tutorial included, this pattern is recommended even for those new to garment knitting.
