Perfectly Knotted

The Ever After Vest is a cute, oversized vest in the same style as the Ever After Sweater. It has a crew style neckline with a picked up collar, and is worked top down (flat for the armhole shaping, then in the round for the remainder of the body) with a sloped shoulder construction. The collar, cuffs and bottom edge have a 2 x 2 ribbed hem. The vest is worked to an upper bust measurement during the armhole shaping section, and then some additional increases are worked during the beginning of the body section to reach full bust measurements. The vest is designed to fall to a slightly cropped level. The pattern is intended to be a boxy fit, but has options for waist shaping if desired, as well as adding extra length as needed for the body. This is a size inclusive design, written for 11 sizes (30-70 inch / 75-175 cm finished bust, in 4 inch / 10 cm increments) and designed for 2-6 inches / 5-15 cm of positive ease.
