Universal Vest
This vest has some similarities with the Einstein Coat (from The Knit Stitch)—all done in garter with slip-stitch edges. But there are significant differences: the vest has short rows (for back shaping, of which you can see evidence in side and back views), and it has no seaming.
A Major difference between this piece and the coat is that it can be worn upside-down! If worn “right-side-up,” it has narrower shoulders and longer front. If worn “upside down,“ it has wider shoulders and a shorter front. Fortunately, the pockets work in both.
There are other options that appear through the pattern: a variegated body + solid collar, or a collar with some shaping.
Many of these options are visible in the accompanying photos.
