The Teddy Vest is a slightly cropped shearling-like vest. It’s worked from the top down, with short rows at the shoulders and then increases to shape the front v-neck and front and back underarm. The front and back are connected, and the buttonholes are worked within the body. The trim is picked up and knit, worked in the round (for the body and arms) and then folded over and finished using a crochet hook.
