Thank you Norah for this really pretty test . I have been enjoying wearing my vest over button shirts for just the bit of warmth you need for an African Autumn

Yarn info
I used malabrigo sock held double with Isager Tvinni for my main colour.
Total yardage for top was 207g with main colour only 111g.
All colour work was Isager Tvinni / Spinni in various colours held double with a merino single yarn.

Modifications:
Cast on for size 3, but after 4 inches of working I realised the chest design will be too wide at the top for my bust measurements. So decreased 12 stitches evenly down to a size 2.

I also added two short rows in the back panel after splitting for the steek. I used the main colour and worked between colourwork rows. Therefore adding four extra rows at the back
The flat lay picture is of the back of the garment and my fingers indicate the two rows with the short rows.

Originally I did my straps as per pattern ( see last picture) but I wasn’t happy with the fit so I decided I would use double knitting to create my straps
