It’s time to get cosy and feel super cool in the Cool Valleys Vest.
Made from chunky yarn and a 6mm hook, this is the perfect between-seasons piece for adding extra warmth to your body without the bulk of sleeves under your jacket.
The herringbone stitch pattern is simple to work and adds gorgeous texture to your vest. Don’t be intimidated by the reverse stitches, I have a YouTube tutorial to walk you through it step-by-step.
Graded for sizes XS-5XL with 5 length options for every size, this pattern can be worked with or without a dropped hem. The cosy cowl is super stylish and great for keeping the chill away from your neck when autumn turns to winter.
Grab your hook, your yarn, and get making!
