ROTATE_LOOP_VEST is designed in a light and soft quality with a relaxed silhouette, high neck and slits in the sides – ideal for layering. The design gives a timeless and comfortable look and is characterized by cable details in twisted rib and stockinette stitch, which add depth, structure and elegance to the knit.
The vest is worked from the top down. First, the back and front pieces are worked back and forth, then the two pieces are joined, and the body is worked in the round. To ensure a good fit, short rows are worked at the top of the back piece and on both shoulders.
The body is worked with cables and panels in twisted rib along the sides. Towards the end, the piece is divided again, and the last part is worked back and forth to form slits on the sides.
The back and front pieces are finished with edges in twisted rib and Italian bind off. Stitches are then picked up along the neckline, and the neck is also worked in twisted rib and finished with Italian bind off.
