Oates: "A classically shaped v-neck vest for little men, this sweater features a textured stripe design throughout. It's worked from the bottom up in the round, and back and forth once shaping for armholes begins. Stitch patterns keep it interesting to knit, and it’s worked seamlessly!" Are there any virtues lacking? No. Handsome, vibrant, and available in a lovely size range, it's truly easy to knit; the armholes are nicely carved and the neckline is extremely well finished in seed st (back neck is straight). Naturally it's a marvellous piece for girls, too. Stitch pattern is written out for both circular and flat knitting, in addition to being charted.
