A vest that can be worn alone or over a
shirt and even a shirtdress. The easy-to-
knit slip stitch pattern is a delight when
worked with an especially fluffy yarn
as I did in the sample. Stitches that are
enjoyable to knit and add texture to the
finished object are my absolute favorite!

The Cushion vest is worked from the top down flat
and later in the round. Beginning with working
each shoulder, the back and front yokes are worked
separately. A slip stitch pattern is worked flat before
the vest body is connected at the underarms and
worked in the round, the slip stitch continuing.
Finished with matching rib hem, collar and
armbands.
