Mool

**CONSTRUCTION** This vest is worked bottom-up in pieces and seamed together at sides with mattress stitch and joined at shoulders with a Three-Needle Bind-Off. Shoulder shaping is done only on the back piece. This means that the fronts are worked longer than the back pieces in the upper body and the top front shoulder will be pulled up and over to the back when joined and worn. The neckline is shaped with a Sloped Bias Bind-Off and the vest is finished with Double-Knit Bands. A detailed video tutorial link has been provided in the pattern for working the button bands. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Chest Circumference (including buttonband): 35 ¾ (40 ¼, 42 ¾, 45 ¼, 50) (52 ¼, 57, 59 ½, 64)" / 91 (102, 108.5, 115, 127) (133, 145, 151, 162.5) cm.
