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 🙂

Talk to me about the belt. Is that tiny crochet squares stitched on to a leather belt? That’s really cute.

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 🙂
