This vest combines a classic shape with a tweedy yarn, making it a timeless addition to any wardrobe! Knit in Valley Yarns Worthington, a durable blend of alpaca, wool, and a touch of viscose for added strength, this vest flatters all figures, and is a joy to make!

This vest is worked back and forth in one piece, from the bottom up, then divided at the armholes to work the fronts and back separately. The shoulders are shaped using short-rows, then joined using Three-Needle Bind-Off. Narrow bands of stockinette are worked along the armholes and front/neck edges, then allowed to roll to the RS.
