Color Block V-Neck Vest

I had the design for this vest on my drawing table for a long time. Find a drapey yarn that is soft and comfortable to wear. Use the colors shown here or be adventurous and try out your own color combinations. Or, if you prefer, work the entire piece in one color.

This vest is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders.
