Knitted Vest Pattern: Youth's

Knitted vest pattern: 30 inch chest measurement.

Worked in plain smooth fabric, this vest is similar in apperance to the machine-made article, but is the superior in point of softness - as of elasticity.

Materials: -

• 8 ozs. 4-ply Beehive Scotch Fingering.
• Four no.10 Celluloid Knitting Needles.
• Buttons.

THE FRONT

Cast on 120 stitches.

Work 32 rows in rib of K.1 and P.1.

Then work 113 rows alternately plain and purl.

THE RIGHT SIDE of the KNITTED VEST PATTERN

P.68, * turn and work 14 rows on these 68 stitches. In the next 2 rows make a button-hole as follows:-

K.3, cast off 2, knit to the end of the row, turn. Purl to the button-hole, turn the work, cast on 2 stitches, turn the work again and purl the 3 remaining stitches. Repeat from * four times. Work four more rows, then commence the shaping for the neck as follows: -

Cast off 16 stitches, then work 16 rows, knitting 2 stitches together at the beginning of every knitted row.

Work 20 rows without shaping. Leaving these stitches on a spare needle until the left side is worked, break off the wool and run in the end.

Commencing again where the stitches were left for the second front, knit up 8 stitches at the back of the plain knitted band, continue and work in the pattern the stitches of the second front.

Work 84 rows on these stitches, working the plain knitted band at the front edge, but omitting the button-holes. Then shape the neck as follows: - Cast off 8 stitches at the beginning of a purl row, purl to the end of the row.

Work 16 rows, decreasing at the neck by purling the first 2 stitches together in every second row.

Work 20 rows without shaping.

Cast on 32 stitches for the neck, and knit the 44 stitches from the right shoulder.

THE BACK of the KNITTED VEST PATTERN

Knit 196 rows, alternately plain and purl, on these 120 stitches. Finish with 32 rows of ribbing to correspond with the front.

THE SLEEVES of the KNITTED VEST PATTERN

Cast on 80 stitches. Work 30 rows alternately purl and plain. Then 12 rows in rib of K.1 and P.1. Cast off.

For the gusset, cast on 20 stitches. Work alternately plain and purl until the gusset is square. Cast off.

Press each piece carefully with a hot iron. Sew together the side seams of the vest, leaving about 8.5 inches for the armhole.

Sew up the ribbing of the sleeves and fix in the gussets. Sew in the sleeves.

To strengthen the button holes, lay a strip of sateen on the inside and hem neatly round, tack round each button hole, work round with wool and then cut the hole - this making it firm and durable.

Sew the buttons on the other side to correspond with the button-holes. Knit up the stitches round the neck. Knit 3 plain rows and cast off.
