Fuzzy Textures Sweater Vest

The Fuzzy Textures Sweater Vest This design began (as many of mine do) with an unexpected yarn purchase. Of course, the trip to the yarn store had been intentional, but I hadn’t been looking for a fuzzy, textured cake yarn. Yet by some miracle, it ended up in my cart, and I took it home with me. As with all sporadic yarn purchases, I wasn’t sure what I would create with it. All I knew is I loved its unique quirkiness. The fun challenge was in finding a project and a stitch pattern that would highlight the distinctive traits of this yarn, while still working well with more common yarns. The end result has a simple, repetitive stitch pattern coupled with thick, bulky yarn, which makes for a fun, quick project that is cozy and stylish.
