The TONI Vest is a simple vest with a V-neck. It can be worn on its own or over T-shirts and blouses. An all-rounder—easy to combine and perfect for all seasons.

The vest is worked seamlessly top down. First, the back is shaped using increases, then the left and right front parts are worked directly onto the back. For the body, the back and front parts are joined together and work continues back and forth until the desired length is reached. The vest is finished with a ribbed border. The front band is knitted on afterwards using the double knitting technique.

Techniques used: left and right leaning increases, both knitwise and purlwise, left and right leaning decreases, Italian bind-off method, double knitting.
