I need help with a fix-it!

I am making a cabled vest for my son. I have everything finished except for sewing up one side, when I showed it to my husband and he asked me if it was going to fit over my son’s head. How had I missed that? Of course not! it will fit comfortably around his neck, but it won’t fit over his head. I have unseamed one shoulder and was now wondering if any of you nifty knitters had any ideas on how to close it. Can I add buttonholes? Should I use snaps? Thanks!

You could add some ribbed edge to each side of the shoulder with buttonholes on one, or snaps, or velcro, whatever you’d like. The two would overlap.

I hadn’t thought about making them overlap! Thanks so much!
