The Moonlight Vest is a cabled vest with a crew neck and folded collar. The textured fabric shows off yarn that has any kind of shine. The vest is worked top down. You begin by knitting flat for the front and back, then join in the round for the body. Armbands, waist hem and collar are picked up and knit. The collar is folded double and sewn down. All sizes have been graded to achieve the same look as modeled. The garment has a relaxed fit whereby the shoulders drape just slightly over the arms. There is armhole shaping for larger sizes.
