ABOUT THE PATTERN
Beyond Cables Vest is worked top down with a mix of smaller and larger cables. You cast on for the neck and work the back with increases to shape the shoulders. Then you pick up and knit stitches along the front of the shoulders to work the front. To join the front and back you cast on stitches for the bottom of the armhole and work the body in the round, before you finish it off with a split ribbed hem. Lastly you make the neckline in 1:1 rib.
