This design will be most flattering for those of us with a smaller bust compared to our general size. It’s intended to end at the waist.

Construction:
This vest has ruffles at the upper front and a flat back. Shoulders and bottom ribbing are worked in 1x1 ribbing and armhole lining is done in I-cord bind off.
The pattern starts with the front with ruffles, which are worked flat, top-down. Then you pick up sts at the top and work shoulders and back, also flat. Front and back are then joined together in the round and the body section is worked in stockinette. It’s finished by a wide ribbing band at the waist.

Yardage is 58% MC (bright) and 42% CC (dark).
You will need a selection of 3.5mm/US4 circular needles as well as detachable markers and some strings of scrap yarn.

Testers rated pattern difficulty 6/10.
