Coffeehouse Vest

***This pattern is currently only available in the book Tunisian Crochet Tops: 14 Beginner-Friendly Patterns for Colorful Sweaters, Tanks, and Tees by Ashley Rivas.*** Read more about the book [here][1]. **About** Stay warm and cozy with the Coffeehouse Vest! This pattern utilizes both Tunisian crochet ribbing and traditional crochet ribbing to show off what each style does best. You’ll start off with the Tunisian crochet ribbing at the bottom of the vest, changing colors at the end of some rows to get visual interest without complicated colorwork. Then, after assembly, you’ll work traditional crochet ribbing around the neckline and armholes to get that stretchy, comfortable feel. **Skill Level:** Easy **Finished Bust:** XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) 33.5” (37.5”, 41.5”, 45.5”, 49.5”) (53.5”, 57.5”, 61.5”, 65.5”) 84 cm (94 cm, 104 cm, 114 cm, 124 cm) (134 cm, 144 cm, 154 cm, 165 cm) **Recommended Ease:** 4” to 6” (10 cm to 15 cm) **Yarn** DK weight, Pure DK by Yarn Matter (100% fine organic merino wool), 231 yds (211 m) per 100-g skein **Yardage/Meterage** **Color A – Marzipan:** 4 (4, 4, 5, 5) (6, 6, 7, 7) hanks of Pure DK or 700 (760, 880, 1020, 1100) (1190, 1290, 1410, 1460) yds / 640 (695, 805, 935, 1005) (1090, 1180, 1290, 1335) m **Color B – Lilac:** 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) (1, 1, 2, 2) hanks of Pure DK or 120 (130, 150, 170, 180) (200, 220, 230, 240) yds / 110 (120, 135, 155, 165) (185, 200, 210, 220) m **Hooks** *Note: Use hook sizes below or sizes needed to meet gauge* Body: US I-9 (5.5 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with 10” to 24” (25 cm to 61 cm) cord Bottom Ribbing: US H-8 (5.0 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with 10” to 24” (25 cm to 61 cm) cord (or size 0.5 mm down from Body hook) Armhole & Neckline Ribbing: US H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook (or size 0.5 mm down from Body hook) **Notions** Stitch markers Tapestry needle Scissors ***For exclusive pattern discounts, join the mailing list at TinyCouchCrochet.com*** If you enjoy making this pattern, and would like to share, please use the hashtags #CoffeehouseVest and #TunisianCrochetTopsBook and tag @TinyCouchCrochet on Instagram.
