~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pattern has mirrored video instructions and explanations for left-handed readers.

The Blueberry Bloom Vest has a simple geometric construction. The three main parts are rectangles connected in a particular order.

The main parts are worked vertically, flat, each in one piece. The stitch pattern is created using the short rows technique and beautifully integrated into the lower ribbing.

It is assembled with a crochet hook with decorative top seams. It is finished with the Button & Collar Band and the Armhole Bands, designed with a shawl collar and to be fastened with buttons.

You are the designer! You decide on the length, fit ease, armhole depth and button location.

For calculations, we offer to use our Blueberry Bloom Calculator located on Google Drive, which does not require registration. You will need to save it in your personal space to be able to use it. This is done keeping in mind your privacy protection.
