Mom's Christmas Vest

This is another Christmas gift, that I also finished back in October, wasn’t I productive?!

This vest was for my mom.

The yarn is Rowan Purelife Revive in color Grey Suffolk.


A couple years ago my mom picked out this yarn along with some other for scarves and hats. I used the other yarn first and it turned out to be too itchy for her to wear, she is very sensitive. Well at that point I didn’t make her anything out of this yarn because it was itchier than the other stuff. Since then it has been sitting in my pile of yarn.


I finally decided to make something with it and decided to make a vest. That why it wouldn’t be touching skin and hopefully wouldn’t bother my mom. I also wanted it to be a very loose weave so my mom would wear it, normally she over heats so a vest was the best option.

I finally found this pattern is Seabrook by Amanda Keep Williams.
Overall I really like the vest, my only complaint is that the arm holes are very large, but it seems to fit with the style of the vest.
