Garter Yoke Vest
Lion Brand® Chenille Thick & Quick®
GAUGE: 8 sts + 12 rows = 4" (10 cm) in stockinette st (k on RS,
p on WS) on size 11 (8 mm) needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: This vest is worked in one piece from the lower back,
over the shoulders and down the front. A single crochet
edging is applied to the front band and sleeve edges with
crocheted button loops on right front.
Where only one figure appears, it applies to all sizes.

| Garter Yoke Vest Reviewed by Isabel Stone on 2013-01-28 |

| I really like this pattern, but the finished product in the Chenille T&Q was problematical. There were surprising areas of openness (very loose stitches) and it was very heavy to wear. On the plus side, it was very warm, and looked yummy. I used a pin fastening, to avoid buttonholes in this yarn.
