EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN
BANDS WITH I-CORD

BEGINNING OF ROW
Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1, work 4 garter stitches.

END OF ROW

Work until there are 6 stitches left on the row, work 4 garter stitches, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1.
Work in the same way from both the right and wrong side.

GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows, from both the right and wrong side.
1 ridge in height = knit 2 rows.

BUTTONHOLES

Work the buttonholes on both bands from the right side.
ROW 1 (right side): Knit together the 4th and 5th stitch from the edge, make 1 yarn over, work until there are 5 stitches left on the row, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 together and finish the band as before.
ROW 2 (wrong side): Work both bands as before, knitting the yarn overs to leave holes.
The first set of buttonholes is worked when the piece measures 19-20-21-22-23-24 cm, the second set when the piece measures 28-29-30-31-32-33 cm.

KNITTING TIP

When working short rows, there will be a slight hole after each turn. The holes can be closed by tightening the strand or working the technique German Short Rows as follows:
Slip the first stitch purl-wise, lay the strand over the right needle and tighten well at the back (2 loops on the needle which are knitted together on the next row).

VEST - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The piece is worked back and forth. The front piece is worked bottom up to the neckline, then the diagonal shoulders are worked separately. The shoulders are joined before working the back piece, top down. The back piece is longer than the front piece. Stitches are knitted up around the neckline before working the neck.

FRONT PIECE

Continue with stocking stitch and 6 band-stitches as before on each side – remember the BUTTONHOLES and remember to maintain the knitting tension.
