Vest No. 1 is a classic slipover that fits perfectly on top of shirts and dresses.
While inspired by classic men’s wear, this vest has feminine details, such as the double folded neckline.
The vest is worked top down in stockinette stitch. First you knit the top part of the back, then both front pieces, close the yoke in the round and work the rest of the body.
Neckline and armhole opening egdes are picked up from existing stitches and therefore no final sewing is needed.
