Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2009: “Taking its cue from menswear, this charming vest has all the best details: tuxedo points in front, slimming vertical lines, crisp edges and designer buttons. Worked from front round the back to front, only a shoulder seam is necessary. A wild novelty yarn combination is calmed down by alternating two rows with a plainer yarn.”
