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!

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
