GAUGE:

9 sts + 12 rows = 4 in.[10 cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS) with two strands held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Knit Rectangle Vest Reviewed by leslielwyatt on 2012-01-16 ***
I found this patter very easy and very quick. It only took me three days and I enjoyed watching it come together. However, my finished product curls horribly and looks nothing like the smooth and flowy vest in the picture.
