“Kaoru” means be fragrant and odour in Japanese.

The vestigan can be worn 2 ways,
with snap buttons on front & a pocket on back,
or with snap buttons on back & a pocket on front.

This pattern is knitted seamlessly from the bottom up to the underarms, with some lace and a few rib stitches.
Then front and back will be separated and worked in stockinette stitch to the shoulders.

This pattern is available in English.

Note: If your neckline is too wide, you may pick up sts from the neckline and knit an i-cord BO with smaller needles. In particular, this method is suitable for Size 2 & Size 3.
