Method: The vest is knitted bottom-up, first in the round, and then back and forth whilst making the front- and back piece of the yoke. Throughout the whole work, the vest is knitted following a series of charts, to create its laced and cabled structure. The upper part of the yoke, as well as the high neckline, is knitted in rib, and to shape the shoulders, the method German Short Rows is used. To finish the vest, an I-cord edge is knitted onto each of the armholes.
