Kago by Eri Yarn Kit

Kago - basket - is a short vest worked from the top down. The right and left back panels are at first worked separately with neck increases, then joined to be worked down to the underarm. Each front panel is picked up from the back shoulder and joined to be worked as the back. The front and back are joined at the underarm to be worked in the round to the hem.
