From ‘Knitting Today’s Classics’: “Traditional trinity stitch provides the overall texture for the woman’s cropped vest, and simple four-stitch cables are inset at the sides and across the back. With its crew neck and straight edges, this vest creates the effect of a cropped, sleeveless pullover.”

The vest is unfitted, with a generous crew neckline.

The pattern begins on page 101.

This pattern includes a Man’s Shawl collared pullover and a Woman’s crewneck pullover.
