DIY Kit - Cropped Weekend Vest - Dream (Merino Worsted)
DIY Kit - Cropped Weekend Vest
This vest design is also available in a longer version here.
This vest is knit holding two strands of yarn together. It is knit flat bottom-up in two pieces: the front panel and the back panel. Both panels include armhole shaping and the front panel includes a v-shaped neckline.
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
