BETH WARMER can be made as an open vest with ties along the sides, or as a neck warmer. Both variations have in common that they can be a lovely, warm layer under your outerwear and an elegant accessory over a shirt on a cold day.
The project is worked seamlessly from the top down in a combination of stockinette stitch and a slipped stitch pattern.

Please take care to ensure that the floats of yarn that run along the wrong side of the work when working the PATTERN are loose enough. If they are too tight, they will pull the work together, creating a puckered look. This is especially important
on the rows where the floats run behind 7 and 9 stitches. On my YouTube channel you can see how I work the PATTERN.
