ABOUT THE WORK
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE
Wild Thing is the name of one of my favorite yoga exercises. It's a fun and challenging exercise and I always feel happy when I've done it. I did the same when I knitted this vest, which is why it had to be called that. And of course because the expression in the vest is fun and playful.
The vest is knitted from the bottom up in garter stitch (i.e. knit on both the right and wrong sides) in 8 parts which are crocheted together at the end. Finally, crochet along all edges with double crochet stitches and insert ribbons or knitted cords to close the vest.
The front piece is shorter than the back piece.
At the end of the pattern you will find a short guide to knitting with leftovers.

Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
