The Paul Vest is worked top-down in stockinette stitch. First, the left and right shoulders are worked separately, then joined into one piece. Stitches are picked up for the back, then again for the right and left fronts. German Short Rows shape the shoulders for a better fit. Once all sections are complete, they are joined and worked straight. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to work the folded edge in 1x1 rib in the round, which is then attached. Next, stitches are picked up for the folded neckline in 2x2 rib, worked back and forth, and attached. Finally, the right and left front edges are worked in double knitting with buttonholes.

Sizes:

XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL
The Paul Vest has a regular fit and is designed to have approx. 10 cm [4 in] of positive ease with slightly reduced ease in larger sizes, to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means the garment's measurements will be approx. 10 cm [4 in] larger than your actual bust circumference.
The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 / 110-120 / 120-130 cm [31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51¼ in].

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm [36½ in], you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the garment to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
