This handsome vest for man or woman knits up all in one piece with integrated buttonbands, tidy pockets, and short row shaping that makes for smooth shoulder straps. The Vesey Street Vest employs an easy-to-work slip-stitch quilting pattern and is virtually finish-free. Grab your favorite DK-weight yarn, and you’ll have a new wardrobe staple in no time.

Note: Stitch pattern provided in both written and charted formats.
