Notes: Winterberry Vest is knit from the bottom up in one piece. It is worked in the round to the underarms, then the front and back are knit flat to form armholes. A purled faux seam runs up the right and left side body to underarms. Panels of bobble stitches and cables run up the centre back and front. Some bobbles are worked in short lengths of contrasting yarn. Front shoulder stitches are finished with a cabled knit bind off, which is then seamed to the back shoulder stitches.
