Here is a romantic little knit vest that is right in line with this season's fashions. It features a longer, tunic length, empire waist shape, and gorgeous mix of lace and cable textures. 

Thin 2-stitch cables accent the shaping. A beautiful traveling vine lace stitch is used for the bodice and pretty 4-stitch cables make up the straps. A flattering squared neckline will work well with blouses or slim-fitting long sleeve tops. Velvet ribbon ties complete the look.

This is a great item to wear to work or just as an extra layer on chillier days.
