Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2009: “Contrasting and coordinating stripes worked in 2/2 rib are the main feature of the wide waistband on a fresh-looking vest. Small bands of colorwork follow the ribbing. A deep V-neckline and small sleevelets are tipped with touches of contrasting color. This vest is slightly close fitting, and ends approximately 1” below the waist. Extra length can be added in the plain area above the Fair Isle band.”
