Easy Vest is a versatile layering piece. It is designed to work with the rolling property of Stockinette stitch. The edgings are formed without any kind of seaming for a soft and clean look.

It is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, the left and right fronts are worked, then stitches are picked up for the back and joined to the fronts at the underarm. The curved hemline is created using short rows.

Easy Vest is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
