This pattern is available from etsy.com for €5.81.

You can use the pattern to create your own Bowy Vest! The Bowy Vest is assymetric and features bows to attach it. This pattern is made to measure, which means it can be made with any yarn and hook size and you do not need to crochet the same gauge. It can be adjusted to any body type. You can also choose on what side of your body you want the straps, the vest is worked top down.

I used DK weight yarn and a 4mm hook, but you are free to use other yarn weights or hook sizes (like some of my testers did).

The pattern also includes a tester lookbook to see some different outcomes of the pattern with different types of yarn and body sizes.

You will need:
A crochet hook
A crochet hook 1 size bigger than your other hook
A darning needle
Scissors
200 - 400 grams of yarn
Stitch markers
