Sakura Open Vest is a versatile and classic top that can be used as both a vest and a top. If you knit it in a summer-friendly yarn, you get a cute summer top, while you can also use it as a vest or sleeveless cardigan over dresses, shirts, etc.

The cute Sakura pattern runs like a vine along the buttonholes of the front pieces.

Sakura Open Vest is knitted from the bottom up, where shoulders are sewn together invisibly with mesh stitches.

You can knit according to a visual knitting diagram or a row-by-row description of the pattern repeat, which is a small repetitive pattern.

Both summer yarn suggestions and a warmer yarn alternative are given, so that you can knit your Sakura Open Vest for several
seasons.
