My mother has recently finished a beautiful patchwork vest.
She used a pattern which was featured on p.25 of „Lena Special –
Häkeltrends creativ & aktuell - LS 281“. It is a simple top in earthy tones
which should bear resemblance to South American culture. It is made of
granny squares which are joined to a tube and bordered by a very simple edging
on the top and bottom of the tube. To make it suitable for all ages they have
added simple straps that look like the edging.
But look at what she has made of it.
When I saw her vest I knew
immediately where she had taken the idea from, but her vest is much more
practical and colorful.
She used much thinner wool, made the straps wider (using granny
squares), made a rectangle instead of a tube, made a simple edging (using dc in
row 1, sc in row 2, dc in row 3, and so on...) and put cute buttons on the front.
With the remaining granny squares she decorated book covers which she had sewn.
I
think she did a good job on matching the colors.
