Step 1: Cast On

Cast on 80 stitches and join in the round, placing a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.

Step 2: Ribbing

Work in a k2, p2 ribbing for 2 inches.

Step 3: Stockinette Stitch

Switch to stockinette stitch and knit every stitch for 6 inches.

Step 4: Pattern Setup

On the next row, begin the tied vines pattern as follows:

Knit 4 stitches, place marker, purl 4 stitches, place marker, knit 4 stitches, place marker, purl 4 stitches, place marker, repeat from the beginning of the row.

On the next row, knit all knit stitches and purl all purl stitches. Continue in this manner for 6 rows.

Step 5: Knit to the Shoulder

Knit in stockinette stitch until the vest measures 12 inches from the ribbing, or the desired length for your shoulder.

Step 6: Shoulder Shaping

Begin shaping the shoulders by binding off 8 stitches at the beginning of each of the next 2 rows.

Step 7: Neckline

Knit across the remaining stitches to the center back and place those stitches on a stitch holder. Join a new ball of yarn and knit across the other half of the stitches to the center back, placing those stitches on another stitch holder. This will create the neckline.

Step 8: Armholes

With the right side facing you, join yarn at the underarm and pick up and knit 36 stitches around the armhole. Knit in stockinette stitch for 2 inches, then bind off all stitches.

Repeat for the other armhole.

Step 9: Finishing

Weave in all ends and block the women's vest to your desired measurements.
