Warm and cozy, just what I had in mind – REintroducing Anne, a sweater vest with deep pockets, and stripes – this time worked top down, and in the round! This is a shapely vest worked in Seeded Rib Check stitch pattern on worsted weight wool. The neckline sits just low enough to allow a peek of tee shirt from underneath. It’s a quick knit you’ll surely enjoy.
