About The Super Chunky Slipover Tie Up is worked from the top down, with an easy construction and minimal shaping. First the back piece is worked to length, then stitches are picked up for the front shoulders where the neckline and fronts are worked down. A classic 1x1 ribbing completes the edges to allow for a clean, structured finish while maintaining comfort. Side ties are added last, giving the vest its signature detail and allowing for an adjustable fit.
