PATTERN NOTES

The Maritza Vest is a pretty sleeveless top with lace at the bottom hem and along the shaped front neck. The body is worked in the round to the underarms. The front and back are then worked flat separately to the shoulders which are joined with a 3-needle cast off. Armhole edgings are picked up and worked in the round in garter stitch.
