Siggi Teddy Vest

This is a knitting pattern (PDF) only.

Brief overview / tips:

The vest is knitted bottom-up. First, the front and back pieces are knitted separately to create the split. They are then joined and knitted back and forth up to the armholes, where the work is divided again and the front and back are knitted separately.

Finally, the neckline and pockets are knitted before the edges are crocheted, the zipper is sewn in, and the pockets are attached.

You can find instructional videos for crocheting the edges and sewing in the zipper under the highlight “Siggi Teddyvest” on my Instagram profile, @martejacobsenstudio.
