Rib Stitch Vest
A sleeveless round-necked vest knitted in a rib stitch pattern. Two versions: a shorter length with a deeper hem and turtle neck, and a longer style with crew neck and side vents. Both versions are knitted from the bottom up in 2 pieces with three-needle cast-off on the outside shoulder seam to show. The armholes are worked with integral decreases to give a clean line. On both versions, the necks are worked in the round.
