About this product
Skill Level: Intermediate — see level guide
Some projects are love at first stitch. Young At Heart is one of those rare pieces that looks good on just about everyone. The relaxed fit makes it easy to layer over dresses, blouses, and T-shirts, while the clean, modern shape keeps it looking effortlessly stylish. It's the kind of vest you'll reach for again and again—and wonder how your wardrobe ever lived without it.
Don't let the simple shape fool you—this vest has serious personality. Knit in a bold color, it becomes the star of the outfit. Knit it in a neutral, and you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again. Either way, Young At Heart is proof that sometimes the simplest projects make the biggest impact.
This vest is knit in one piece from the bottom up. The bottom of the body is worked in the round to the armhole. It is then split to separately work the front and back sections flat. Stitches are picked up to work the neckline in the round.
