A vest with a cute nut pattern. The body is slightly loose and the ribbing at the hem is longer. The grey base color and the pink color scheme are both faded with three colors each. The same pattern is knitted, but by shifting the position where the colors change in various ways, beautiful nuances are created.
This vest is knit in the round while inserting stiks that will be cut out later for the armholes and neckline. First rib stitch two stitches at the hem, then knit in the round while inserting stiks in the armholes and neckline. Cut open the stiks at the armholes, pick up the rest stitches and the stiks and rib stitch. Cut open the stiks at the neckline, pick up the rest stitches and the stiks and rib stitch two stitches. After each stik has been processed, the finishing touches are made.
