The Dolly Vest is worked top down in stockinette stitch.
The piece begins by shaping the shoulders using short rows and is then worked down to the armholes. From there, the fronts are worked separately, with increases to shape the front neckline and armholes. Once the required depth is reached, the fronts are joined with the back, and the body is worked in one piece to the desired length.
Short rows are then worked at the hem to create a subtle curved shape, and the stitches are bound off. To finish, the armhole and neckline edges are worked with a crochet hook.

Please note that the vest can also be worn open, without the ties, so a large amount of positive ease is not necessary for the larger sizes.
