This simple, beginner-friendly knitted vest is designed to build confidence while creating a timeless wardrobe staple. Worked with easy knit and purl stitches and stripes, this pattern is approachable for newer knitters and enjoyable for more experienced makers looking for a relaxing project.

The front and back of the vest are worked separately, then seamed. The edgings are picked up and worked in ribbing.
