PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

To knit this vest, you need to know how to provisionally cast on stitches, knit, purl, bind off stitches, make lifted increases (those typically used for armholes), pick up stitches and knit flat, be familiar with the slipped stitch technique and simple lace. It is essential to know how to read charts, as the instructions for knitting the front motif are given only in chart form.

CONSTRUCTION

This vest is constructed top-down without any seams. It begins by knitting the collar with a provisional cast-on, continues with the back, holding stitches when sufficient length for the armholes is reached. Then, the provisional cast-on is picked up again to knit the collar part of the button band, followed by picking up stitches at the shoulders, picking up these stitches again, and knitting the fronts separately, but they can be done simultaneously, depending on the knitter. Once the necessary length to the armholes is reached, the 2 front pieces and the back are joined, and the vest continues to be knitted flat down to the bottom ribbing.
