LIMA vest

An oversized vest with a V-neck and elongated body, worked partly in rows and partly in the round, using stocking stitch and 2x2 rib stitch. Begin by working the back of the vest up to the armhole, using German Short Rows (NRS). Then, work the left and right front pieces, simultaneously shaping the neckline. Join all the pieces and work in the round, creating a decorative effect with 2x2 rib stitch. Return to working in rows to create the side slits. Finish the collar with a double pleat and the armhole with a single pleat.
