Description
The Cora vest is one of my most popular patterns! Made with fine cotton yarn, this piece can be worn all year around, as a sleeveless summer top or as a sweater vest in colder seasons.
The little flowers are joined as you go (no sewing). This makes it easy to adjust the size without having to frog your entire work and start over. It also makes it possible to change colors for every new flower, creating a multicolored vest.
This pattern is recently updated and now includes extra clear photos, illustrations, and stitch charts. You’ll receive a fully designed PDF that’s beautiful to look at, as well as a clean, minimalist version for easy printing.
SIZE: made to measure, however the minimum size is XS.
SKILL LEVEL: advanced beginner (you just need to know the basics). This extremely detailed pattern includes written instructions, photos of every step, stitch charts, and illustrations, so it’s very easy to follow!
LANGUAGE: English (I use US terminology).
YARN: you’ll need weight 2 yarn (Fine/Sport/4ply). I used 5 balls of Katia Capri (1 ball = 50 g/125 m/137 yds) and I usually wear size M.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS: you can adjust the length and add as many straps as you like (adding more than 1 pair of straps makes it possible to wear the Cora vest as a summer top).
Enjoy crocheting!

Haven’t made the whole vest yet but the pattern looks good and clear so far. Started with a little row but I don’t like the yarn I’m using. Will be switching to a cotton yarn (like in the pattern) instead 🙂

The pattern was very easy to follow even as a beginner working towards an intermediate level. This was my 5th project and I am so happy to have put the time and effort in it!!
Love the final look 🥰

Almost done with my Cora vest and I’m super happy with the results. I’ve mostly been knitting in the past year, so this was my first crochet pattern in a while. I found the pattern extremely detailed, but also easy to follow!! Love the design and plan on making other patterns! ❤️🧶

The pattern was really straight forward and I was able to get it done in a short amount of time. I was a little worried about the amount of time it would take to do each flower individually and sew in all the ends but it wasn’t a hassle at all. I am really impressed by how it turned out and will be making another in a different colour.

As a new crocheter I think the pattern was really nicely written. Clear text, good figures and I love that it’s based on your own measurements!

Such a nice pattern! Easy to follow instructions with helpful pictures. I love how it turned out and the fact that I easily could make it fit my size.
