About The Campus Cable is a pattern I've wanted to knit for awhile, inspired by college back to school styles, I wanted to incorporate the preppy look with a versatile piece that allowed to wearing in different way, on campus and off. The Campus Cable V Neck Sweater Vest is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and shoulders and then working down to shape the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front along the cast on edge at each shoulder, and the v neck is shaped while working down to the armholes before joining in the round.
