Vest End Girl ist ein Ganzjahres-Slipover. Im Sommer trägst du es als Top oder Shirt und wenn es kälter ist, ziehst du ein Longsleeve, eine Bluse oder einen Rolli darunter an. Gestrickt wird nahtlos von oben nach unten. Die kleinen Zöpfe in der Mitte des Vorderteils sind nicht schwer.

Do you remember the Pet Shop Boys song West End Girls from the Eighties? This song was in my mind when I was knitting this vest. So, the name of this project was found easily!
