amberblissthis I love summer. Well, I love the concept of summer. Lazy days, lounging by the lake, a gentle breeze…you get the picture. It’s not often picture-perfect around here, but that doesn’t mean I won’t find my spot, curl up with crochet, and hook the day away! This crochet vest pattern is the perfect companion to a lazy summer day. It works up quickly (I made the XL/2X size in less than a week while working full time and completing other smaller projects!).

About the Yarn
I used Comfy Color Mist (provided by We Crochet), which is a worsted weight (4) yarn made of 75% Pima Cotton and 25% Acrylic, in the colorway Vermillion on this version of my vest, and I LOVE it. it’s a really soft cotton blend to work with. If you’ve been looking for a new cotton blend to work with, this is a lovely choice. The Comfy Color Mist colorways include 14 different colors that are either bold, pastel or neutral. The colorways lend a special texture to the stitches.
The acrylic microfiber gives elasticity to the lightweight, long wearing, and machine washable yarn. It’s a good choice for warm weather projects of all kinds, and is especially recommended for children’s clothing and baby blankets. I also used this yarn for a quick work up of my Take-Me-to-Market-Pouch!
