Maeve Vest

**Please email support@emknits.co if you need pattern support. Instagram DMs are difficult to keep track of and I'm often not notified when sent one.** ----------------------------------------------------------- **ABOUT** The Maeve Vest is an all-over cabled vest with a unique wraparound cable detail along the armhole. The vest is worked top down, where the front and back yoke are worked flat and the body is worked in the round. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders and also along the bottom of the armhole edge. Optional waist shaping for a more fitted look is also included. The blue sample shown was worked without waist shaping and the green sample was worked with waist shaping. **SIZING** The Maeve Vest is designed to be worn with approximately 0.25-2.25 in (0.5-5.5 cm) of positive ease, meaning the circumference of the vest is approximately 0.25-2.25 in (0.5-5.5 cm) larger than your bust.
