Woven Willow Vest From Fiddlesticks Knitting

Comments Off

woven_willow_vestAnother new vest pattern for the season. I really like this one, it’s decorative enough for the office but yet could be understated and work perfectly with jeans. It could also be a necessary layer (for those of us up north) under a blazer.

At any rate, this is a really nice, pretty addition to your wardrobe!
