Hi Delia,
I'm sorry if the pattern is confusing. It's knit all in one piece.

You cast on at the "A" dimension and knit the body of the vest "B".

You then split your knitting and make "armholes".  You knit one section "E",  then knit the "D" section separately, then knit the other "D" section.  By knitting 3 sections you leave openings (dotted lines on the pattern)

You then pick up all 3 sections and continue knitting and shaping the decreases for the neck section "F".

You then bind off "H".

Hope this helps.
