Construction: Vest is knit from the bottom up, in one piece with A-line shaping. Each front features a rice stitch panel that is worked at the same time as the rest of the garment. Fronts and back are separated at the underarms and each is worked separately up to the shoulders. Shoulder sts are then placed on holders while front panels are continued. Shoulder sts are seamed together using the Three Needle Bind-Off technique. Front panel ends are then connected (via Three Needle Bind-Off), and then side of panels are picked up and connected to the back neck (also via Three Needle Bind-Off).
