Emerald Vest
Dress up a pair of jeans, or wear this vest to the office. This is a quick to knit generously sized piece that will become a wardrobe staple in any color you make it in. For a less oversized vest, make one size smaller.
The body is worked in one piece to the armholes, then divided to work the fronts and back separately. Short-rows shape the shoulders, that are then joined using 3-needle bind-off. A couple rows/rounds of garter stitch finish it off. Close the front with some unique, fun buttons.
The chunky yarn used will make quick work of this simply textured vest, and you’ll be wearing it in no time!
