Knit A Simple Knit Vest
The Open Trails Sweater Vest is a fun, quick knit that’s great for beginner knitters and fun for the more advanced. The vest can be worn on its own or over your favorite t-shirt, dress, or collared shirt. It’s knit in the round from the bottom up, divided for the fronts and backs, and then seamed at top. The collar and armhole ribbing are picked up and knit in the round.
