As thick and as soft as a cloud! Wear this vest in the cooler months, before winter sets in. FAST to knit!
You do the body in one piece with shaping, then the collar is worked in cable, sideways and sewn on. It looks equally good with the collar unbuttoned! I chose a zipper closure to keep the look clean and lean.
