This vest is knitted in panels and assembled with exposed seams for a structured look. Ribbing nips in the waist without complicated shaping, while a swirling ruffle is nothing more than a long seperate panel gathered to fit the edges of the piece. Two yarns in the same colorway give opposing weights and drapes to the body and ruffle.
