Description
The Yvette vest is a striped sweater vest with a turtleneck, that almost has a knitted look to it. Using weight 2 yarn gives the vest a beautiful drape and makes it a light, airy piece that’s perfect for wearing all year round. You could even wear it on its own, as a tank top! This is a no sewing pattern and you only need to fasten off a couple of times. The stitch is repetitive, so you can easily work on it while watching a tv show or listening to a podcast.
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. The pattern includes written instructions, photos of every step, illustrations, and stitch charts, so it’s very easy to follow!
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 6 balls of yarn and I usually wear size M.
Enjoy crocheting!

My Yvette vest turned out super pretty, and it also worked up a bit faster than I expected because of the repetitive stitch pattern. It is definitely the perfect pattern if you enjoy watching a show while working on something simple yet fun. I also liked the way the color changes are worked without having to weave in thousands of ends.
Thanks for the great pattern!
