Emily’s Vest

Description

My friend Emily wanted to buy a chunky knit vest but wanted it out of wool and not acrylic. I decided that I could write a pattern and knit one for her and here it is, Emily’s Vest :)This quick knit vest is worked from the bottom up in seed stitch with cable panels on the front. It features a shaped collar and large set in pockets. The only seaming is at the shoulders and along the back neck.
