Garter Rib Vest #160

This vest is very easy to work up, with a stitch pattern that you’ll have memorized in no time! The ribs help give the vest shape, so that it follows your form nicely. You can comfortably wear this over a blouse, or by itself; dress up jeans or pair it with a skirt for work or going out.

The vest is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.
