Notes

Blue Heron hiker/biker vest!

First real intarsia project. Made the chart in illustrator. It was bigger than I thought it would be so the “patch” placement is lower on the back of the vest than I thought it would be but it still looks good. I made the 38” size bust which is normally fine but if I were to make this pattern again, I would make the 40” bust as right now it fits with a bit of negative ease. ETA: I blocked the vest to the exact schematic dimensions and it fits better.
