A very simple sleeveless vest, knitted in two pieces. The back is worked in K1, P1 rib and then changes to K2, P2 rib, and finished with a basic cast off for the armholes and back neck. The 'fronts' are worked as one long piece in K2, P2 rib. The back and the front pieces are simple assembled to create a basic and stylish layering garment.
