ARAN WIDE VEST Knitting Pattern | Instant Download PDF

This vest features a wide body and deep armholes. It
can be worn with any type of clothing underneath, so
you can enjoy layering it with a knit turtleneck, shirt, or
dress with large sleeves. The deep armholes are edged
with garter stitch folded trim to maintain their shape
and create a beautiful silhouette.
The body is worked in pieces from the bottom up (with
the armhole edging worked in garter stitch at the same
time), then sewn together. The shoulders are shaped
using wrap and turn short rows, then joined using
3-needle BO. The armhole edging is folded in half to the
wrong side and sewn in place.
