Loose-fitting “condo” stitch vest. Use 2 strands of yarn throughout. Condo stitch: using size 10 needle, knit and purl several rows. Then, using the size 17 needle, knit a row, wrapping yarn twice for each stitch. Return to smaller needle for next row, dropping the extra wraps. This creates stripes of texture. Garment has neck and armhole shaping, though is still rated very easy.
