Penny is what you grab on your way out the door, realizing it’s colder out there than you dressed for. This half vest half pinafore goes on over your head and is tied at the waist. It is worked in 1×1 half-twisted rib knit stitch, making the sizing versatile.

Penny is worked beginning at the bottom front, working flat up to the shoulders. Once the neck opening stitches are bound off, each shoulder is worked separately and then connected again to work flat down the back to the bind off edge. Stitches are then picked up around the neck opening where a long collar is worked, folded towards the inside and connected to its cast on edge, creating a plush double collar. Four ties are worked in the front and back at the waist to finish.
