DETAILS
Nothing says layering goals quite like a classic vest. You can choose from a cropped or full length. I love to wear it buttoned up as a tank, or worn open over t-shirts. I love this little knitted vest with its fun play on stripes, and I hope you do, too! This vest is worked from the top down, seamlessly, beginning with the back neck, and has 2 different body length options. The button band and armhole ribbing are picked up and knit out from the body of the vest.
