Nanda vest – crochet pattern

Description

The Nanda vest is a comfy sweater vest, with a 70s inspired flower motif and ribbed borders. The vest has a boxy fit, making it a very comfortable layer for colder seasons. Use merino yarn for an incredibly soft vest, which will keep you warm without being too heavy.

The flowers are joined as you go; making this a no-sewing pattern. The pattern includes instructions for how to join the flowers seamlessly and how to create ribbing that looks just like knitting, so you can learn some new techniques while creating this beautiful crochet piece.

The pattern comes as a PDF designed in the house style of Cucurucu Crochet, as well as a clean version for easy printing.

SIZE: made to measure (meaning you can adjust it to your own measurements). It’s very easy to customize the vest to your liking: you can make it fitted or oversized, cropped or long, etcetera.

SKILL LEVEL: advanced beginner (you just need to know the basics). The pattern includes written instructions as well as photos, illustrations, and stitch charts for visual learners.

LANGUAGE: English (I use US terminology).

YARN: I recommend using yarn weight 2 (fine/sport/4ply). I used merino wool, but you can also use a different material, such as cotton. I used Hobbii Friends extra fine merino (1 ball = 50 g/165 m/180 yds). I used 5 balls of yarn and I usually wear size M.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS: it’s very easy to adjust the vest to your liking. You can customize the fit (tight or oversized), length, and the width of the ribbed borders.

Enjoy crocheting!
