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.

I love the style but not the yarn suggested, It would be great in worsted or heavy worsted.
