Ruby Tuesday Vest Knitting Pattern (English)

Ruby Tuesday Vest is a lovely basic vest with a very low V-neck and a boxy fit. The beautiful diamond pattern is created by using intarsia technique and is thereby the perfect project for using scrap yarn. The vest is worked from the bottom up. Front and back piece is worked individually and is assembled by the side- and shoulder seams. The vest is finished with a slim ribbing by the armholes and a wide ribbing by the V-neck.
