A knitted vest is a perfect project to give you the feeling of accomplishment in less time than knitting an entire sweater. Throw it on over your favorite t-shirt in the spring and fall and your favorite blouse or long sleeve shirt\/turtleneck in the winter. It fits nicely under a blazer or coat and adds just that little extra layer to keep you warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pattern is available in English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe pattern is a PDF file.

First the top of the back is worked flat while shaping the shoulders and then the armholes. The back stitches are placed on hold while the front is worked. Stitches are then picked up on either side of the back shoulders while shaping the front neckline and then armholes. The two pieces are then joined to begin working in the round. A purl stitch between the front and  the back pieces adds the illusion of a side seam.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leslie Friend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50643893420271,"sku":"znc1788111644500","price":5.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/0106\/8783\/files\/hello-friend-vest-by-leslie-friend-knitting-pattern_1.jpg?v=1788111650","url":"https:\/\/www.northwoodcorner.shop\/products\/hello-friend-vest-by-leslie-friend-knitting-pattern","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
