Yay! I love pattern-release days. Designing, creating, writing, modeling, and laying out a crochet pattern is definitely a labor of love – and that makes it so exciting to sit back and look at the final product when it’s all put together. So, I hope you enjoy this new one as much as I do! It’s the Blossom Vest, now available through Etsy and Ravelry for 5.50 USD 🙂
This retro-chic granny square vest is what your wardrobe needs for all of your summer adventurings! Whether you wear it over tanks and tees as a vest or lace it up for a sweet halter top, the Blossom Vest is ready to jam.
This pattern can create 4 different vest sizes using sleek and comfortable 100% cotton yarn in #4 weight – with tons of color possibilities, you’ll want to make one for every outfit!

Ohh yay I’m glad you noticed! So, I didn’t make that belt, I found it at a thrift store – it’s Lucky brand and it looks like it was originally designed with the squares, not added on by someone. It’s probably my favorite belt though!
This is such a fun summer top! I love the open, laciness of the squares, and relaxing, hip earthy tones. I am a true sucker for granny square projects! While I don’t think this would look very good on me anymore, I do think it would look great over a tank top as well. Pinning.
I have run a granny square link up all year long, and have reached the last one. Would love if you came to share this, and enter the big, BIG 2017 Yarn Goodies Giveaway 🙂
Thank you so much! I love granny squares too, they really speak to the timelessness of the craft 🙂 🙂 I will definitely check out your linkup, thanks for recommending!
Gorgeous, I have a daughter who would love this, so I had to purchase. Thank you❤️😍
Aw thanks! If you have any questions you know where to find me! 🙂
Loving this vest!! Simple stitches with lovely results!
Thank you! 🙂 🙂
Talk to me about the belt. Is that tiny crochet squares stitched on to a leather belt? That’s really cute.
