The short, open silhouette gives the design a contemporary lightness. The focus here is on the "Half Fisherman's Rib" (half-brioche) edge that runs along the front opening and the sides. It gives the vest a distinct, tailored look that sets it apart from a basic garter edge. The charming i-cord edging at the neckline transitions seamlessly into the i-cord tie closure and emphasizes the Scandinavian-inspired look.
It is these small touches that make the finished piece feel special. Whether you style it over a crisp white shirt or a slouchy tee, it adds immediate warmth and character to your look.

I have written the instructions to guide you through this stitch pattern row by row, so even if you haven't knitted Half fisherman's Rib or iCord before, you will feel supported. There are also some explanatory video included to support the instructions visually.
