The Festive Biscuit Vest is a pretty design that combines a simple two-color mosaic and
structured knit and purl pattern stitch
This layer’s body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the armhole, and then the Back and Front are worked separately, back and forth. After seaming, the shoulders, armhole, and neckline trims are worked in the round.
