“With quick knitting in mind, Traci designed a V-necked vest with minimal finishing that is knit in one piece to the underarm. This is an ideal project for beginners or those with experience. A cotton ribbon in bright turquoise proved to be an ideal yarn for the project. An easy knit and purl pattern fits nicely into our basic theme.” -Knitter’s

“Traci Bunkers says: ‘For summer, I wanted to design a project that knitted up quickly, required minimal assembly, and that could be worn casually or dressed up with a slinky silk skirt. The vest I came up with is knitted in one piece. The only assembly required is sewing the shoulder seams and adding the buttons! The buttonholes are worked on the right front as you go, so there is no separate buttonband to make. Since I like to play with stitch patterns that look nice on both sides and are easy to memorize, I designed a simple pattern that combines garter ridges with stockinette and reverse stockinette stitch.’”
