VIETTO

Vietto is worked seamlessly from the top down. The work begins with the back shoulder pieces, which are worked separately and joined at the bottom of v-neck. Next, the back piece is worked until the underarms and the stitches are placed on hold. The top part of front piece is worked similarly. The front and back are joined at underarms and the body is worked in the round until the hem. Finally, the hem is worked back and forth again to make small slits on the sides.
