Cascade Yarns FW188 Crimson Trace Vest (Free)

This Crimson Trace Vest from Cascade Yarns is a sleeveless V-necked pullover that is knitted in the round with steeks at the armhole and neck openings. Waist shaping, worked over increases and decreases at the side “seams”, is included for a closer fit. Armhole and neck shaping are worked at same time. The shoulders are sloped using smaller sized needles so the sweater shoulders do not stand away from natural shoulder and the pattern is not lost in decreases or short rows. Please note that this pattern contains charts.

About sizing: Sizes listed are finished garment chest measurements. Fit depends on the amount of ease desired beyond actual chest size. For a close fit, add 1-2in (2.5–5cm); for a standard fit, add 2-4in (5–10cm); for a loose fit, 4-6in (10–15cm); and for an oversized, 6in (15cm) or more.
