PATTERN NOTES
This vest is worked in one piece from the bottom up with stranded cables on the side seams. The piece will have three skeins of yarn attached at the same time from the hem to the armholes. When working the first stitch of
the Right Side or Left Side Cables, bring the yarn to be used, for the first stitch below the yarn just used wrapping them together. This is an intarsia wrapping technique to anchor the yarns together - the yarns need to be wrapped every row at the first stitch worked in the stranded cables.
