Hand Knitting Pattern: Vest, Sleeveless V-neck Pullover

Yarn weight: Aran (8 wpi)
Suggested yarn: Plymouth Yarn Galway Highland Heather, Cascade Yarns ® Cascade 220®, Malabrigo Yarn Rios

Use any Aran weight yarn. A basic wardrobe piece is a great choice to make for yourself, or as a gift for Dad. This classic style is never out of fashion. Knit flat. The borders are in an easy mock cable rib, so it looks a bit more stylish than completely plain. The armholes are generous to accommodate full sleeves. Choose a size approx 2-4” bigger than chest measurement.
