Is it time for a new experiment?

I have an idea. Uh, oh. It won’t go away.

I want to knit a vest. That’s not so weird, right? They are handy to have. Winter is coming and I want to be prepared.

I could make it in the normal vest way: start with the shoulders and knit the front to the underarm, knit the back, join in the round at the underarm, and well, you get the picture. But no, not doing that because of … the idea.

What I really want is a top down raglan …

This is the Side Pattern Vest

designed by me. It’s a lovely knit in worsted weight yarn.

… where the shoulder is narrower. How can I shorten the shoulder section so that when I cast off the sleeve stitches I have what looks like a sleeveless armhole?

Yes, this is my big question. I know, I know, why bother? Sometimes a question like this grabs my attention and won’t let go so … here we go.

Cheers, Deb
