How it works
First let’s go through how the blog hop works. For 24 hours 1 pattern will be available for free through the blog hop. You find the code you’ll need to get it through the round up page. You’ll then access the pattern through the link to Ravelry on each designer’s page (for mine it is this page, grab it through below button).
The events name is the Winter Wonders Blog Hop so I wanted to create something that would be great for the colder months. You might recognise this vest as a spin off of the Chocolate Shop Vest. I wanted to combine contrasting colors, add pockets, more sizes and exclusive photos to make this pattern it is own. This vest is made using Capra DK from WeCrochet. WeCrochet kindly gave yarn support for all the yarns in this event, thank you!
