Tulip Loop Vest

**TULIP_LOOP_VEST** is a loose-fitting v-neck vest, detailed with ribbing and cables. The vest is worked from top to bottom. First the back piece, shoulders and front piece are worked back and forth. Then the two pieces are joined for the body, which is worked in the round. The lower part of the work is divided and worked back forth in ribbing, forming slits on both sides. To ensure a good fit, short rows are worked on both the upper back and the shoulders. At the end, stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is worked in ribbing and finished with Italian bind off. **Sizes_** 1 (2) 3 **Measurements_** Circumference_ 108 (119) 130 cm.
