Haven Harbor Slipover Vest

**Constuction Notes** The Haven Harbor Slipover Vest is worked seamlessly from the top down. The collar is knit in the round in half fisherman’s rib, then transitions directly into the shoulders. Shoulder width is shaped with steep increases. Once the shoulders are established, the front and back are separated and worked flat to form the armhole depth, with subtle decreases along the edges for a refined, sculpted shape. The front and back are then joined and worked in the round for the body. The armholes are finished with a clean i-cord edge, adding polish to the textured fabric. The length of both the body and armholes can be easily adjusted to suit your preferred fit. **Size Guide + Finished Measurements** There are 10 sizes available written in XXS (XS, S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL), with a finished circumference of 36.5 (40, 42.75, 45.5, 49, 52.5) (56, 59.75, 63.25, 66) in/ 91.5 (100, 107, 114, 122.5, 131.5) (140, 149.5, 158, 165) cm.
