This vest, featuring a slanted cut-out on one side and wide long turtleneck collar with a slit, is a study in balanced asymmetry. The body of the vest is worked in Stockinette Stitch with Garter Rib borders and hem. The collar is also worked in Garter Rib.

​

The vest is worked from the bottom hem. The back and front of the vest are worked flat as one piece with slanted cut-out shaping, then joined and worked in the round to underarms. The upper body is worked back and forth in rows; shoulders are shaped with short rows and joined with a 3-needle bind off. Stitches for the collar are picked up along the neckline.
