Well, I have broad shoulders and a big rib cage too, so I can understand that some things work and others don’t.
I imagine you’re probably going to like @muscara’s suggestion, but I made 2 vests from this pattern.

I made mine a little shorter, and I practically live in one of them. The most complicated part is shortrowing a few rows in the back. (I think this is perfect for our broad shoulders.) Otherwise, it’s simple. Even the pockets are easy!

I like that pattern! Any specific changes you did to turn it into a vest? It looks very close to my needs!

No except for shortening the length a little ‘cause I have short legs. 🙂
Long vest but perfect silhouette with the little decreasing at the waist, but that’s written in the pattern.

And you left the front open instead of knitting it solid?

I didn’t. I love that kind of neck. Maybe not traditionally vest shaped for you. 🙁
Of course, you could pick up neck stitches and do a ribbed neckband. It would be slightly squarish, but not overly so. Maybe garter stitch would look good. hmmmmm
I know how it is. That’s why we spend so much time looking for patterns. I’m in the middle of that process myself.

I like the tunic as a tunic and am thinking that I will try it too. The neck is fun and the pockets would be nice to have.
