ABOUT THE VEST TOP
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE FOR KNITTING XULIÁN
To knit this vest, you need to know how to provisionally cast on stitches, knit in garter stitch, bind off stitches, make yarn-over increases (the ones usually used for armholes), pick up stitches, and knit flat.
XULIÁN CONSTRUCTION
This vest is constructed from top to bottom without any seams. It begins by knitting the neckline with a provisional cast-on, continues with the back, leaving stitches on hold when a sufficient length for the armholes is reached. Then, the provisional cast-on is resumed to knit the neckline part of the button placket, after which stitches are picked up at the shoulders, these stitches are taken up again, and the fronts are knitted separately, but they can be done simultaneously, depending on the knitter. Once the necessary length up to the armholes is reached, the 2 front pieces and the back are joined, and the vest continues to be knitted down to the bottom edge.
