Product Information
The Maggie Vest is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth, and shaped with increases. Stitches for the shoulders are then picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke, and each shoulder is worked separately flat, back and forth, with increases and decreases to shape the fronts. At the underarms, the fronts and the back yoke are joined to form the body, which is worked flat, back and forth, on a circular needle. Rib edges are worked around the armhole openings. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck.
