Cosy Hey Ho Vest

The Cosy Hey Ho Vest is a cosy layering piece for autumn and winter, perfect to wear over a blouse, shirt or sweater. It is worked seamlessly from the top down using 4,5 [4,0] mm needles. You‘ll begin by knitting the slanted back, then pick up stitches for the right and left fronts. The three pieces are then joined under the arms, and the body is finished flat.
