Designed to feel like a gentle pat on the shoulder, the Sweetie Vest is a versatile layering piece that will brighten your look on a crisp winter day or a cooler summer evening, adding a touch of whimsy with an adorable front bow.
Adventurous beginner - simple construction, includes tutorial links and notes for beginners. Fast and relaxing knit for more experienced knitters.
The vest is worked flat from the bottom up, then divided into a back and two front panels, which are worked separately. The shoulders are grafted together, and two I-cord ties are added at the end.
