MIMBRES VEST

DVD

This all-over patterned vest is worked on circular needles from the lower edge to wanted length to underarm, where a pair of steeks are established. Continue to the base of the scooped neck, insert another steek, then onward to wanted shoulder height. Shoulders are united and the steeks are machine-stitched and cut. I-cord borders are knitted directly onto the edges of the armholes and all around the periphery of the vest. Techniques include: long tail casting on, following the chart, trapping the carried color, kangaroo pouches, steeks, machine stitching and cutting, 3-needle I-cord cast off, EZ's applied I-Cord, neatening the cut edges, & blocking.
