The Rosemary Vest is a delicate top-down design that combines the lightness of subtle lace pattern with the graceful finish of i-cord edges. It begins with the back, worked in rows. The shoulders are then formed one by one, their curves shaped by increases along the neckline, before flowing together into the front, which continues in harmony with the back. A soft neckline edging follows, and at the very end, slender i-cord ties are added to both back and front. Tied into little bows, they close the Rosemary Vest with a touch of playfulness.
The size is based on the bust circumference. Allowing 10-15 cm of positive ease gives a relaxed fit, which can be further adjusted with the tie cords.
