March Vest
A simple vest, a versatile piece you can never have too many of, is something you will want to knit in various materials and colors for different seasons and outfits. Knit it with Flutter, for a lightness that feels like wearing spring.
A top-down vest worked seamlessly. Back is first worked by shaping shoulders with increases. Stitches for each front are then picked up from back shoulders and shaped with decreases. Fronts are joined to work in one piece to underarm after shaping necklines with increases. Back and front are joined at underarm and worked in the round down to hem. Lastly, arm bands and neck band are worked in 1x1 rib.
