About

Stay warm and cozy with the Coffeehouse Vest! This pattern utilizes both Tunisian crochet ribbing and traditional crochet ribbing to show off what each style does best.

You’ll start off with the Tunisian crochet ribbing at the bottom of the vest, changing colors at the end of some rows to get visual interest without complicated colorwork. Then, after assembly, you’ll work traditional crochet ribbing around the neckline and armholes to get that stretchy, comfortable feel.
