Construction: Vest is knit from the bottom-up, with each Front and the Back knit separately at first (to create the split hem), then joined together and worked all in one piece to the underarms. Then each Front and Back is worked separately up to the shoulders (with short rows to shape the shoulders), then joined together using the Three Needle Bind-Off technique.
