The Emma Vest is worked top down in stockinette stitch. It begins with the back, shaped using German short rows and worked to the armhole depth. The fronts are then worked separately: the shoulders are shaped first, followed by neckline increases, and each front is worked down to the armhole. The pieces are then joined and the body is worked flat to the pocket height. The vest is finished with ribbing, button band, neckline, and armhole edges.
