The Cutting Edge Vest by Ailbíona McLochlainn
With an overlapping neckband and turned armhole edgings, this basic sweater-vest is as minimal as it is elegant. But the simple design harbours a hidden feature: From cast-on to bind-off, this vest is worked entirely in the round – then steeked open. This method dramatically reduces knitting time compared to typical sleeveless garment construction, eliminating the need to work the back and front sections separately.
Instructions include options for a traditional v-neck edging, a shawl collar (as shown here), or a clean neckline finish. You can also choose between a straight or an A-Line bodice, and between a continuous or a split hem.
This pattern is suitable for first-time steekers. Detailed instructions, as well as a diagram, are provided to illustrate the process.
