The vest is worked from the top down. First, the back is worked, then stitches are picked up along the shoulders to work each front piece. The front and back are joined below the armholes and worked back and forth. Finally, the armhole edgings, ruffles, and neckband with ties are worked. The pattern also includes techniques such as increases, short rows, and double stitch bind-off.
