“Schoolgirl chic.”

With simple styling that lends itself to the classroom, workplace or weekend, this vest is so classic, so quintessential, it could become your uniform. The jumper length has a certain schoolgirl chic. The abridged, hip-length version is a flattering layer without the bulk of a sweater. Either way, it’s a nice little primer of techniques you’ll use again and again.

TECHNIQUE WALKTHROUGHS IN THIS PATTERN: • Clip & turn short-row shaping. • Customizing body length.

PHOTO TUTORIALS IN THIS PATTERN: • Picking up stitches for bands. • Adding selvedge stitches for a pocket band. • Sewing down pocket bands.
