Esther Vest is knitted from the top down with structured knitting. First, the top of the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulder sections are knitted from the sts picked up at the top of the back piece. The torso is knitted back and forth. A rib edge is knitted along the armhole. Finally, button plackets and a rib edge are knitted at the neck.
Make a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. You can make swatches based on diagrams in knitting patterns.
Size guide
Esther Vest should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 6 cm. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished vest are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size S. A vest in size S has an upper width of 96 cm and in the above example will give a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 6 cm.
