Suitable for men or women, this button-front vest will add timeless warmth to your everyday shirt and jeans. The simple, elegant textures produced by knit/purl combinations have inspired knitters for generations. This vest uses three such textures in horizontal bands to make a classic layering piece that will be welcome in any wardrobe.

The Barnstaple Vest is knit in one piece from the bottom up. All edges are trimmed with ribbing. Instructions are included for both right-over-left (traditional for women) and left-over-right (traditional for men) buttoning. Stitch patterns are written and charted.
