Wandering Patch Vest Kit
price: $178.00
Are you ready to go through a wandering patch? This multi-craft, bib-vest is here to take you on that journey! Crocheted from the “patches” (granny square and rectangle motifs) outward, this project will take you every which way as the garment slowly takes shape right before your eyes. Patchwork panels combined with plain crochet rows, optional knit ribbing, and versatile side ties, make the Wandering Patch vest as interesting to stitch as it is fun to wear. Enjoy!
