W5-5332 Chevrons & Ribs Vest

"This buttoned cardigan vest is designed to work up easily and quickly," assures Erickson-Schweitzer. "A 'when you're done, you're done!' pattern. The knitting is worked entirely in one piece, with bands and buttonholes knit as-you-go. Once the knitting is complete, only the shoulders need to be joined and buttons attached. Design features are a bold textured chevron pattern and yoke shaping using the natural draw-in of a ribbed stitch." So there's a lot going on at once to involve the knitter, with the usual exact instructions, and a sketch, and a lovely generous chart; sturdy and efficient, to make over and over.
