CROCHET PATTERN

A structural layering piece that bridges the gap between a cowl and a cropped vest. Designed for practical warmth and visual impact, it features a fitted asymmetrical  bodice that wraps securely with an button closure.

 

The focal point is the yoke, which utilizes dimensional textured stitches to create a defined shape and showcase contrasting colorways. Finished with a deep, textured hood, this vest is intended to be worn over long sleeves or tunics as a versatile transitional layer. It offers the core warmth of a vest with the styling of a statement accessory.

      The pattern was easy to follow and fun to make. Love the finished vest! The included photos were helpful too. It may have just been me, but I ended up on the wrong side for the HDC in 3rd loop a couple times, something to keep an eye on maybe.
