Note on the pattern: Kettle Cove vest is knitted from the bottom up, in the round to the armholes. Front and back panels are then knitted flat to the neckline. Armhole stitches are picked up and extra length is cast on to link front and back pieces. Ribbing is knitted around the armhole, then stitches picked up for the neckline and ribbing is applied. The vest falls at the lower waist, has deep armholes and a scooped neckline. A stranded design is applied to the body. Once the vest is completed, rows of moc knit stitches are embroidered to add texture and additional visual interest. The vest utilizes two colours for the stranded portion and a third colour for trim and embroidery.
