vest
This vest is for the little boy that is always on the run and for
parents who dig style. The vest is constructed with extended
single crochet, which will produce a thin fabric that makes the
vest easy to wear. The streamlined, contrasting color shapes
near the shoulders add just a touch of sophistication to the
vest and will keep you entertained as you crochet. The zip-up
front makes the vest easy to get on and off, while the washable
wool blend yarn makes it a snap to machine wash.

Using standard diagrams and symbols,

Chachula presents easy-to-follow instructions
and patterns for a wide assortment of kid-
friendly projects. The 25 projects in Baby
Blueprint Crochet will appeal to moms and

jackets, and vests. Chachula also offers
smaller pieces, including slippers, blankets,
and toys.

Perfect for beginning and intermediate
