Retro Vibe Vest is a round neck (sleeveless) vest. It is knitted from top to bottom without seams. It begins in a circular motion, shaping the shoulders. To raise the back of the neckline, some Short German Rows are woven, at the same time as the increases are made to form the shoulders and when the braids begin to be woven, one on each side of the front. Then the front is separated from the back, which are knitted separately flat to leave the opening for the arms. When joining the body, it is knitted in a circular motion again. To finish, the armhole stitches are lifted and an elastic stitch edge is knitted in a circular motion.

The design was inspired by the classic braided vests of the 70s. It combines a classic and simple shape, adorned with a braid on each side of the front, making it a timeless complement to any wardrobe.

The approximate yarn yardage per size corresponds to the measurements of the finished garment listed in the table. If you make changes, or if you use a yarn with very different characteristics than the one used in the sample, the amount of yarn may vary. The sample is knitted with Merino Baby Alpaca 50/50 , DK weight yarn.

The pattern is available in 9 adult sizes. The sweater I'm wearing in the photo is a size 3, with 12 cm/4.75 in of looseness. For reference, I am 170 cm/5 ft 7 in tall and my bust circumference is 96 cm/38.5 in
