This free knit pattern guides you in how to make this sweater vest with bows to close the sides.
It’s inspired by a book about female artists I read two years ago
Please note that this pattern has not been tech-edited or tested. Furthermore, this is my first graded knitting pattern. This is the reason it is free.
