One Piece, Any Size/Any Yarn V-Neck Vest
(Based on ideas used in The Incredible, Custom-fit Raglan Sweater by Pamela Costello, St. Paul, MN)

You can use any yarn and any size needle/gauge to achieve the look you want. See the yardage estimates on the next page. That flexibility requires some computing at the beginning of the pattern and again for the V-neck. The upside is that there are no seams when this garment is complete! The body is knitted in the round to the armholes, then use your circular needle to go back and forth for the left and right fronts and the back. The body of the garment is stockinet stitch with your choice of ribbing at the bottom. The finishing for the armholes and V-neck is garter stitch. The shoulder seams are woven when the knitting is complete.

For best results, use the measurements of a garment that you know fits. You can use the chart above as a guide. The chest garment measurement should work for fitting the specified size; adjust the length of the garment to your preference.
