The construction of this vest is as enjoyable as it is rewarding. Starting from the bottom up, the lower body is knitted in the round until reaching the armholes. After that, the chest pieces are worked flat separately and skillfully joined at the shoulders using a 3-needle bind-off technique for a polished finish. To complete the look, the collar and armhole edges are picked up and knitted in the round featuring a classic 1/1 rib, ensuring a snug fit that keeps little ones comfortable.

The mock cable design is not only visually appealing but also simple to work, allowing even novice knitters to complete this pattern without the need for a cable needle. This makes the Eamon vest an excellent choice for both experienced crafters and those new to knitting!
