When buying the pattern until October 15th, as a compliment, you can choose another one of my designs for free.

A casual oversized vest. The alternation of plain and grid squares creates an elegant pattern. The surplice V-neck gives a feeling of freedom and style. The contrasting color added along the shoulder seams, neckline and sleeve edges is a charming detail. Squares Vest is designed to be worn with approximately 10 - 15 cm (4 - 6 in) of positive ease.

Workflow
First the body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the arm holes. Then work the front and back separately. Meanwhile, divide the front into right and left part. The Wrap & Turn short rows technique is used to shape the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline and armholes for the ribbed edges.
