SKILL LEVEL: Easy
Using the circular needles in traditional way or without closing in ring shape, work the vest top-down in garter stitch and increasing for raglans shaping of chest and short sleeves. From neckline, work the stitches of 2 fronts, back and short sleeves at the same time, then at armpits bind off the stitches of the sleeves and cast-on the stitches for undersleeves and continue working the new stitches, the stitches of two fronts and back, shaping the chest.
MEASURES
