Sleeveless Button Vest Knitting Pattern

Wear Something You Actually Made

You put real time and real yarn into a project. This vest makes sure that investment shows up in what you wear.

No seams to sew at the end, no guessing on construction. The top-down build keeps you in control from the first row to the button band.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust circumference 88–128 cm (XS–3XL) / Body length 49–68 cm

• Seven sizes from XS to 3XL, with both circumference and length measurements given, so you can choose the fit that actually suits your body, not just a standard size label
• A mix of stockinette, eyelet, and seed stitch gives the finished vest real texture and visual interest, without the piece depending on any one difficult technique
• Worked flat and top-down with no seams, so you can try it on as you go and avoid the guesswork that usually comes with fitting a vest

       "I loved being able to try it on before finishing. The fit came out exactly right."
