How to get your pattern

This PDF pattern is delivered by email. Here’s how it works:

Tap the payment link: link text. You’ll go to Mercado Pago, a secure payment processor. It accepts international credit and debit cards.
Pay. The checkout is in Spanish, but it works like any standard card payment — enter your card details and confirm. (Your card statement may show a charge from Argentina — that’s me!)
Send me your payment confirmation by email to bravosofia1512@gmail.com, and tell me the pattern name.
You’ll receive your PDF within 24 hours.

Card declined? Some banks block charges to foreign processors — it’s not you. Just email me at bravosofia1512@gmail.com and I’ll send you another way to pay.

Thank you so much for supporting an independent designer!

BEE FRIENDLY VEST
It is a slightly boxy cut vest, worked from the top down.
• It begins at the back, working increases towards the shoulders.
• The front panels are worked separately by picking up stitches, then shaping the neckline
and finally increasing towards the armholes, which are deep to provide mobility.
• The design is cropped style (if you wish to make it longer than the suggested measurements, please consider that you will need more yarn). Finishing is done in 1x1 ribbing and
i-cord for the armholes.
IMPORTAN: CORUJA SALVAJE has 115meters per 100g, if you use a yarn with twice the yardage per 100 grams, you should hold it double if you want to achieve the same look and feel.
IMPORTANT!
For larger sizes, the stitch count distribution is different for the front and the back to ensure a better fit for the vest.
