Last Minute Giftie

DadVestPdfShot.jpgI used to be pretty good about offering the occasional freebie pattern - especially at Christmas. The last few years the freebies have been harder to fit in, mostly because it takes time to write out patterns in intelligible terms. By the time I have time, I'm already on to something else. When Ann showed such a keen interest in obtaining my dad's vest pattern for her knitting circle, I decided it would be a nice opportunity to slip in a little freebie before 2007 comes to a close. So while Moxie was cheering on the Patriots, I was happily pattern drafting. Voila!

The vest is written for a 44" shirt size, with tips for re-sizing. It's a quickie, so please read over the pattern carefully for errors before proceeding. If you spot an error, please let me know. We'll revise as we go along. Happy New Year! xox, J

Thanks for a great pattern - perfect for those days of freezing rain and feet of snow that we've been getting!

I saw your post regarding a Wenlan Chia design from Twinkle Big city knits. I'd love to know if you finished it. If so, how did it fit? I am an hourglass rather than a popsicle stick. I love these designs but am concerned they will be a terrible waste of money, time and effort. What's your take on the completed sweater? Thanks so much!
