WORKING PATTERN

With MC cast on 248 sts.

Knit 3 rows.

Next Row: RS – Using CC, knit 15 sts.

Switch to MC and knit to end of row.

(To avoid a gap when changing colour,

bring the new yarn under the old yarn

before the first stitch.)

Next Row and every WS Row: WS –

knit, matching colours.

Next Row: with CC, knit 16 sts,

switch to MC and k to end.

Continue in this way, knitting one extra

st with CC on each RS row, until there

are 60 CC sts. With MC, knit to last st,

switch to CC; k1. Continue in garter

stitch, knitting 60 CC sts at beginning

of RS row and working one more CC

st at the end of the row. This creates

slanting blocks of colour at either end

of the work. These ends will become

the fronts of the vest.

Divide for Armholes

When work measures 35cm, with RS

facing and maintaining colour pattern,

k60 sts. Cast off 5 sts, k 118, cast off

5, k to end. Continue working on these

60 sts (for left front), maintaining the

colour pattern, until work measures 25

cm from beginning of armhole. Work

two complete rows in MC, and cast off.

CENTRE BACK

With RS facing, rejoin MC and knit

across central section. Continue in

garter st until work measures 25 cm

from beginning of armhole.

Work 2 more rows and cast off.

RIGHT FRONT

With RS facing rejoin yarn and work

right front, maintaining colour pattern,

until work measures 25 cm from

beginning of armhole.

Work two complete rows in MC, and

cast off.

FINISHING

Darn in ends. With RS together, join

fronts to back at shoulders, leaving a

gap of approximately 35 cm for neck.

Turn back tops of the fronts to form

a revere, and clasp with a brooch or

button if desired.
