Vintage crochet Friday #72
One of the great things about little cropped vests like these is that they take very little yarn, really add to an outfit, and show off a tiny waist. That last point means that you’ll never see me wearing one, but I can think of plenty of people who could.
I used to love wearing vests and only stopped because they went out of style. I like the warmth, coverage, style, and having my arms “free”.
I disagree that you need a small waist to wear a vest. With the right style and cut, any one could wear one. The one in the picture is adorable and with some clever shaping and additional length, you could give yourself a waist.
What is that pattern from?
I love a vest – although I fear that my “cropped” days are over!!
I’ve been meaning to ask if I can come around and rifle through your crochet books again…. or if you can recommend a quick kids cardi or vest or something? (Read: I think I have enough scarves now)
it’s a very cute look … and you could always extend the pattern. it would look really cute on you.
