Knit out of Louet MerLin yarn, this vest looks great on a man or a woman, and is offered in 10 sizes to suit both. The simple cables on a background of reverse stockinette stitch are knit in the round to the underarms, then split up from the center of the cables to form the armholes and V-neck. All decreasing is done inside the cables so that no finishing edges are required.
