Julie’s designs are well-known for being clean, fashionable and architecturally interesting. The Vertex Vest is no exception – being equally exciting for the maker and the wearer. The origami-esque construction creates a beautiful drape that flatters the wearer. A deep ribbed collar and fully fashioned shoulder details create a versatile layering item with chic simplicity.

Then, you will pick up stitches for the upper bodice (Step 4) along the side edge of the joined lower rectangles, and complete the upper section.
