An open-front vest worked in Simply Denim, a soft and smooth yarn made of 50% anti-pilling acrylic and 50% cotton.The vest features a basic V-neck design, suitable for both men and women, and is worked top-down, making it easy to adjust the length.
The armhole and chest have a relaxed fit for a comfortable wear. The pattern includes instructions for placing the buttonholes on either the right or left front, so you can choose your preferred side. There are no video tutorials included; the pattern is recommended for those familiar with written instructions. If you have made a basic top-down vest before, this project is a good next step.

This pattern includes reference videos for selected steps.
