Work at Home Vest, 3 Sizes

This pattern is written for standard sizes Small, Medium, and Large.

The Work@Home vest takes advantage of seamless top-down construction:

• Try it on as you go
• Stashbuster: use yarn on hand and stop when you run out
• Makes a pricier yarn go further; armholes are oversized for comfort and to reduce abrasion of a delicate yarn
• seamless; very few ends to weave in.

The cotton version (less than 1 cone) doubles as a pretty but practical apron! Whether made of wool, cotton, or acrylic, it's comfortable, casual, and striking with jeans and a t-shirt or dressy blouse. I think the speedy V-stitch pattern looks fresh upside down, and it's lacy but warm.

Skill Level: Intermediate. This pattern features less common stitches, mixed construction, and simple shaping. I have written it with a minimal amount of abbreviations. International English equivalents to American measurements, yarn weights, and stitch terms are provided in brackets {}.
