NOTES
The front and back are worked separately, back and forth in rows, then sewn together at the shoulders. On each side of the body, stitches are picked up along the selvedge and worked outwards for a folded hem that serves as a finish for the armhole openings and the side slits. The neck opening is finished with I-cord, and the lower edge of the body is deliberately left unfinished.

The front and back are connected with contrasting-color side panels worked in the same pattern as the body, but left unblocked to emphasize the ribbed texture. The finished chest measurement is the total of the front width, back width, and two 4 side panels. The body side hems do not contribute to the circumference because the side panels are connected to the edges of the front and back along the hem pickup line, covering the hems.

The Final Volume, Volume V.The Winter is officially over, and some feelings linger. After a long season of internal and subconscious journey, having brought feelings to the surface, they are now ready to be fully in the light. The themes of healing that permeate this collection correlate to the seasons, and Volume V is no different. To truly make a change, we must first see what there is to change. what better time, than after a winter of contemplation, and into the bright spring to plant the intentions of growth and change. The pine vest was born out of trial and error, love for the pine motif, and wanting an echo of all the work that was put in for the sweater, as an abbreviated version. I hope you love it as much as I do, and see how the themes of life can repeat, while also maintaining their own lessons and progress.___________Based off the pine tree motif featured in Volume IV (the pine sweater) this pattern is the abbreviated version. knit in the same yarns, sleeveless, seamless, bottom up, and timeless this vest transitions you out of winter and into spring, or if you dont have time to get it done for spring, from fall into winter.Yarn:Manos Del Uruguay Cardo Bulky Corriedale Yarn, 109 yards / 3.5ozIn colors : Spirulina (cc) and North Sea (mc)Aprox Total Skeins: 4, (5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11)Sizes 1-3 need one skein of cc, sizes 4-12 need two skeins of the cc.
