Teddy vest

The Teddy Vest is knitted with double strands of Drops Alpaca Bouclé. It has an oversized fit and is knitted top-down. German short rows are used to shape the back piece. The vest is knitted in stockinette stitch back and forth. The wrong side will be the side facing out, giving the vest a more "woolly" appearance. The vest has a zipper with either a short or high neck. An i-cord edge is made around the armholes. The vest is unisex.
