Knit up this vest in a textured ridge stitch that is both interesting and easy to memorize.

Front and back are knit separately from the bottom up, then seamed together. Armholes and vee neckline are edged by picking up stitches with a 16" circular needle and purling one round for a simple, but professional finish.

This vest is a great all-purpose garment.
Layer it over your favorite t-shirt or wear it by itself--armholes and v-neck are high enough to accommodate both. I made mine in a cotton with a nice twist for excellent stitch definition.
