Continue working the 1st 5 sts and last 5 sts in each row in the border pattern, and begin the diagonal 4 st in between beginning with row 1. On sizes XS , M, L and 2XL you will need to decrease 2 sts on the 1st row by using a K2tog rather than a K randomly twice during the 1st row. Work in pattern until the sweater measures 17.5” (17, 16.5, 16, 15.5, 15.25, 15)” from CO.

Left Front: Put the right front and back on separate lengths of waste yarn to work later. Work across left front in pattern until 2 sts remain, PM, K2, CO 3 using the e-wrap method.

Starting at the center border, place 13 (14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21) sts on a stitch holder for the collar and 29 (32, 36, 39, 43, 46, 49) sts on stitch holder to join with the back later. Back Transfer back sts from waste yarn to needle. Beginning with a WS row, adjacent to the left front, work across the back until 2 sts remain, PM, K2, CO 3. Next row, P5, work in diagonal 4 pattern until 2 sts remain, PM, K2, CO 3. Work the 1st 5 sts and last 5 sts in border st and the remainder in diagonal 4 st until back measures 7.5” (8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 9.75, 10)” from the beginning of the armhole. Next row, work 29 (32, 36, 39, 43, 46, 49) sts in pattern, BO 26 (28, 30, 34, 36, 38, 42) sts in pattern, then work the remaining 29 (32, 36, 39, 43, 46, 49) sts in pattern.

Join the remaining 29 (32, 36, 39, 43, 46, 49) sts to the right back with a 3 needle BO. Repeat the 3 needle BO with the left front and back. Collar Place the left collar sts on the needle. Starting with a WS row, continue the 1st 5 sts in the border pattern, then begin working in a [K2, P2] Rib until neck, PM, pick up 36 (38, 40, 44, 46, 48, 52) sts, PM. The seam will be on the RS of the vest, but the collar will fold over the seam. Put right collar sts on spare needle, then continue in the rib pattern, mirroring the left collar, until 5 sts remain, work these 5 sts in the border pattern. Next row, work the 5 border sts, then work in pattern to the marker, between the markers, increase in pattern in every st with using KFB and PFB except on sizes S and XL where there are an odd number of sts in ribbing on each front, work the st adjacent to each front in pattern without an increase. After the end of back marker, work to the end of the row in pattern. Continue in pattern until the collar measures 3”. On the next RS row (which will be the WS of the collar when folder over), increase 1 st with a KFB, K1 in each knit section of the ribbing. Work in pattern until collar measures 7”. BO in pattern. Finishing: Sew the borders together on each underarm. Work in all loose ends. Dampen the vest with cool water and lay flat to dry.
