Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry - see here. 

Pattern available in French and English.

The TULIP_LOOP vest is a loose-fitting V-neck vest, detailed with ribbing and cables.

The vest is knitted from the top down. It starts with the back, shoulders, and front, knitted flat. Then, the two parts are joined for the body, which is knitted in the round. The lower part is then separated and knitted flat in ribbing, forming slits on both sides. For a good fit, short rows are worked on the upper back and shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, which is knitted in ribbing and finished with an i-cord bind-off with an Italian finish.
