PAUL VEST

The Paul Vest is worked top-down in stockinette stitch. First, the left and right shoulders are worked separately, then joined into one piece. Stitches are picked up for the back, then again for the right and left fronts. German Short Rows shape the shoulders for a better fit. Once all sections are complete, they are joined and worked straight. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to work the folded edge in 1x1 rib in the round, which is then attached. Next, stitches are picked up for the folded neckline in 2x2 rib, worked back and forth, and attached. Finally, the right and left front edges are worked in double knitting with buttonholes.
