SONJA VEST

Sonja Vest is knitted top-down with cables. First, the upper back is knitted with increases. Then, the shoulders are knitted from picked-up stitches at the top of the back piece. The body is knitted back and forth with cables. A rib edge is knitted along the armholes. Finally, button bands and a rib edge are knitted at the neck.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. You can make a swatch according to the diagram in the pattern.

Size selection: Sonja Vest should have a positive ease of approximately 15 cm relative to your bust measurement. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 85 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A sweater in size S has a bust circumference of 100 cm and in the given example will result in a positive ease of 15 cm.
