Finishing

Lay three finished panels with the right side in- facing the wrong side towards you and the table.

Leave 14 stitches in the center of the back panel for the neckline, and sew the front panels from the shoulder to the neck leaving the rest open.

Now we will not join the sides of this Vest but leave them open and close them with a Chain weaved in zigzag on both front and back panels.

Cut your yarn and weave in the ends.

Enjoy!
