What is the name of this waistcoat pattern and the name of the designer please?
You’ll be binding off at the beginning of WS (wrong side or private side) rows.
Row 1 bind off 5sts
Row 3 bind off 4sts
Row 5 bind off 3sts
Row 7 bind off 3sts
Row 9 bind off 2sts
Row 11 bind off 1stitch
Row 13 bind off 1stitch

There is a very neat way to bind off and prevent a stairstep look to the edge if you’d like to use it.

It’ll be a very similar bind off for the Neck. Bind off at the beginning of a RS (right side or public side) row.
Row 1 bind off 4sts
Row 3 bind off 3sts
Row 5 bind off 2sts
Row 7 bind off 2sts
Row 9 bind off 1stitch
Row 11 bind off 1stitch
Then bind off one stitch at the beginning of rows 15,19,23,27 and 31.

Thank you so much for your quick reply, that’s amazing! I can now see what I’m meant to do :sweat_smile:. I will also try your method of binding off (casting off in UK), I have a lot to learn.
The pattern is called Adele but can’t see who the designer is.

It’s in a DMC pattern book.
Nice pattern, I like the asymmetry.

I’m in the UK too, there are members all over the world on this lovely forum.
