Assembly

Shoulder Seams

Lay the back panel down with the right side facing up and the wrong side facing down (odd numbered rows were worked on the right side / even numbered rows were worked on the wrong).

Place front panels on top of the back panel with the right sides facing down and the wrong sides facing up. Line the shoulder straps up with the top edges of the back panel.

With your yarn needle and the 10-12” tails you left, whip stitch the panels together across the top. Be sure to work into the top of the CH 3 in the corners so there is no gap left between the panels. Secure at the end with a few knots. Weave in ends.

Side seams

Cut a new strand of yarn 2x the length of your vest. Attach the yarn at Row 4 and whip stitch the panels together up until the top of Row 16 or until the arm hole is your desired size. Be sure you’re working into the corresponding stitches on the back panel, so the panels are in line with each other. Repeat on other side. Secure with a few knots and weave in ends.
