The Wilten Vest is an open-front vest that not only keeps you warm during the colder months, but is also a statement piece! It is knit top-down seamlessly in panels. Due to its large gauge it is a very quick project that can also use up some scrap yarns on the outside i-cord border.
An optional i-cord bow tie adds a finishing touch to the garment.
