EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN

RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.

DECREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 118 stitches) and divide by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 24) = 4.9.
In this example, decrease by knitting together approx. each 4th and 5th stitch.

DECREASE TIP-2 (for armholes):
Decrease on the inside of 2 stitches. All decreases are worked from the right side.
Decrease as follows at the beginning of the row:
Knit 2, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch.
Decrease as follows at the end of the row: Work until there are 4 stitches left, knit 2 together and knit the last 2 stitches.

VEST – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The piece is worked back and forth, in sections and sewn together to finish. The V-neck and armhole edges are worked in the round to finish.

BACK PIECE

Cast on 118-130-138-150-166-182 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm and Sky. Purl 1 row (= wrong side). Then work the next row from the right side as follows: 2 edge stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 , work from -* until there are 4 stitches left, knit 2 and finish with 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue this rib for 6 cm. Knit 1 row from the wrong side then knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 24-28-28-30-34-36 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE TIP = 94-102-110-120-132-146 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm.
Work stocking stitch back and forth, with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When the piece measures 29-30-31-32-33-34 cm, cast off for the armholes at the beginning of each row as follows: Cast off 3 stitches 1 time, then 2 stitches 2-2-2-3-3-3 times on each side. Then decrease inside 2 stitches, decreasing 1 stitch on each side 8-11-14-16-21-27 times – read DECREASE TIP-2 = 64-66-68-70-72-74 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch.
When the piece measures 52-54-56-58-60-62 cm, cast off the middle 34-34-36-36-38-38 stitches for the neck and each shoulder is finished separately. Cast off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 14-15-15-16-16-17 stitches on the shoulder. Continue working stocking stitch until the piece measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm (25-26-27-28-29-30 cm from the bottom of the armhole). Cast off with knit from the right side (making sure the cast-off edge is not tight). Work the other shoulder in the same way.

FRONT PIECE

READ THE WHOLE OF THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE CONTINUING!
Continue with stocking stitch and cast off for the armholes at the beginning of each row as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, then 2 stitches 2-2-2-3-3-3 times on each side. Then decrease inside 2 stitches, decreasing 1 stitch on each side 8-11-14-16-21-27 times = 64-66-68-70-72-74 stitches.

V-NECK

At the same time when the piece measures 31-33-34-36-37-39 cm start to decrease for the V-neck. Start from the right side and work as before until there are 3 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together and work 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Place the remaining stitches on a thread without working them.
Each shoulder is finished separately; do not cut the strand. The left shoulder is continued from here, working back from the wrong side.

LEFT SHOULDER (front piece):
Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the neck, decreasing inside this edge stitch at the end of each row from the right side. Decrease every 2nd row 17-17-18-18-19-19 more times (a total of 18-18-19-19-20-20 decreases, decrease by knitting 2 together, the first decrease was made when the front piece was divided) = 14-15-15-16-16-17 stitches on the shoulder. Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the neck until the piece measures a total of 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm. Cast off with knit from the right side.

RIGHT SHOULDER (front piece):
Place the stitches from the thread back on the needle.
Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the neck (the first row is worked from the right side), decreasing for the neck inside the edge stitch at the beginning of each row from the right side. Decrease every 2nd row (slipping 1 stitch, knitting 1 and passing the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch) a total of 18-18-19-19-20-20 times = 14-15-15-16-16-17 stitches left on the shoulder. NOTE! The first decrease is on the first row worked). Continue with stocking stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch towards the neck until the piece measures a total of 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm. Cast off with knit from the right side.

ASSEMBLY

Sew the shoulder seams with grafting stitches, inside the cast-off edges. Start under the armholes and sew the side seams inside the 1 edge stitch – leave approx. 6 cm open for the split on each side.

NECK

Start from the right side, at the bottom of the V-neck using short circular needle size 3.5 mm and knit up 168 to 184 stitches (number of stitches must be divisible by 4 and the stitches are knitted up inside the 1 edge stitch), first along the right side, then around the back of the neck and down the left side. Work the first row from the wrong side as follows; 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, * purl 2, knit 2 , work from -* until there are 3 stitches left, purl 2 and finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Work this rib back and forth for 3 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
At the bottom of the V-neck, mid-front, lay the right side over the left side and sew down neatly in the outermost stitch on the neck-edge. Repeat in the same way on the inside of the neck, so the left side is sewn onto the right side.

ARMHOLE-EDGE

Start from the right side by the side seam under the armhole. Using short circular needle size 3.5 mm, knit up 124 to 152 stitches around the armhole (number of stitches must be divisible by 4). Work rib in the round (knit 2, purl 2) for 3 cm. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl. Work the other armhole in the same way.
