The traditional sweater vest has been updated! Here it has a slightly short length to let your shirt tails hang out from under the textured ribbing. The armholes are high enough that you can wear this as a sleeveless top as well (try it layered over a long camisole). The vest is knit in the round from the hem up to the armholes, and then the shoulders are shaped with short-rows before being grafted together.
