Opal Vest

This vest has a dropped-shoulder and oversized fit, it starts with casting on stitches at the back neckline edge and knitting down to the yoke section. Then, the left and right fronts are knitted separately and joined together, knitting flat until reaching the underarm length, then set aside. Next, the back is knitted flat until reaching the underarm length, and then joined with the front to knit in the round until the hem.
