ABOUT THE WORK
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE
Wild Thing is the name of one of my favorite yoga exercises. It's a fun and challenging exercise and I'm always happy with the lid when I've done it. I did the same when I knitted this vest, and that's why it had to be called that. And then of course because the expression in the West is fun and playful.
The vest is knitted from the bottom up in garter stitch (i.e. knit on both right and wrong side) in 8 parts which are crocheted together at the end. Finally, double crochet stitches are crocheted along all edges, and ribbons or knitted cords are inserted 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 scraps.
