The Vila Real Vest is a practical, extremely
lightweight and beautiful garment. It’s a vest that
can be worn loose and short, looking lovely with
dresses, skirts, and high-waisted pants.
It has a top-down, seamless construction, starting
at the neckline and continuing towards the
waistband. The back and front pieces are knitted
separately, in rows on both the right and wrong
sides, up to the armhole. From there, the front and
back pieces are joined together and then continue
knitting in the round until the waist is reached.
