Harlequin Stitch Slipover Vest Pattern
This vest begins with a provisional cast on / tubular cast on and is knit in the round from the bottom up. There is a charted “harlequin” diamond pattern that begins after the twisted rib and continues throughout the body of the piece. There are some stitches that travel like cables so you may wish to have a cable needle at the ready. The shoulders are joined with crochet seams and the piece is finished with a folded rib at the neckline and a flat rib at the sleeves.
This sweater vest is a classic fit with a shoulder that finishes at the shoulder round or just slightly narrower. Please see the fit chart. The sizes are XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X).
23 stitches + 28 rows = 4 inches // 10cm in stockinette
