Like the other creations of mine, this is a 2.0 version and made to wear in tropical weather.
The first version was a V-neck vest. I did love it, and I wore it on my trip to Melbourne, Australia in late autumn a few years ago. I found that using a 4.0 mm hook made the vest too stiff. It was not easy to put on or take off. After coming back I decided to rip it.
I made this 2.0 version with a 7.0 mm hook, making the vest more stretchy and comfortable. Using a larger hook, the stitches will be a bit larger and looser, and the fabric will have more give. You will also get to your size faster.
I chose 3 ply cotton yarn from my local shop for this project since I want to be able to wear it in warm weather. I would really love to make this vest with wool for winter, too. When you work on your vest, just use your measuring tape to measure your project and adjust accordingly.
I found it fun to make the vest. The houndstooth pattern is quite simple. Since I'm not a fan of sewing pieces together, I made this vest in one piece from the bottom up. I tried it on many times whilst making it to see how it fits.
If you feel like making this houndstooth vest yourself, the pattern with its diagram and photos of steps of how to join in turning round seamlessly is now available to purchase from my Ravelry store.
