Needle size 3.5 mm or the needle that gives the correct knitting tension.

Workflow
The vest is knitted from the top down.
It has turnbuckles on the shoulders so they are nicely shaped.
You can knit a waist band after joining under the arms if you wish. The knitted model in the pictures is knitted with a waist band.
All bodies are different and if you have a short or long torso, the length of the slipover can easily be shortened or lengthened by knitting a few fewer or more centimeters on the body. Remember that it may require a little more yarn to knit it longer on some of the sizes.
