Pattern:

  1. Using the smaller needles and the main color, cast on 120 stitches and join in the round, placing a marker at the beginning of the round.
  2. Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 1 inch.
  3. Switch to larger needles and begin the Fair Isle pattern using the main color and contrasting colors. Follow the chart provided or create your own Fair Isle design.
  4. Continue in pattern until the body measures 10 inches from the cast-on edge, ending with a wrong side row.
  5. Separate the front and back: Work the next row as follows: K30, slip the next 60 stitches onto scrap yarn or stitch holders, cast on 6 stitches, knit to end.
  6. Work the front and back separately as follows:
    • Front: Continue in pattern, decreasing 1 stitch at each neck edge every other row 5 times. Work even until the front measures the same as the back to the underarm.
    • Back: Continue in pattern until the back measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge.
  7. Join the front and back: Slip the held stitches from the back onto the larger needles and carefully graft the front and back together using Kitchener stitch.
  8. Sleeves: With the smaller needles, pick up and knit 60 stitches around the armhole. Join in the round and knit 1 inch of ribbing.
  9. Switch to larger needles and stockinette stitch, increasing 4 stitches evenly across the first round.
  10. Work even in stockinette stitch until the sleeve measures 18 inches, then knit 1 inch of ribbing and bind off.
  11. Repeat for the second sleeve.

Finishing:

  1. Weave in all ends and block the vest to measurements.
