Knitting Pattern| Vest TONI Mini | Size 50/56 - 98/104

The Vest TONI Mini is knitted from the bottom up. First, you start with the back section, followed by the left and right front sections. These three parts are then joined and work continues in rows up to the start of the armholes. At this point, the work is divided again into back and front sections and each is completed in turn. After that, the shoulder sections are seamed using the Kitchener Stitch. Once the part with the bouclé yarn is completed, the edges are decorated with an I-CORD. For this, stitches are picked up along these edges and then bound off with an I-CORD.
This vest is not suitable for beginners, as it is knitted with bouclé yarn. The knitting techniques used are basic, with the exception of picking up stitches from the edge.
For each knitting technique that I also need to look up occasionally, I have provided a link to a corresponding YouTube video. All links can be found on the last page in the link directory.
