Product Information

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. I've had the pleasure of learning vest construction from Cheryl and know that these patterns contain the little details that will make the vests work - i. Ukrainian Hutsuls used to richly decorate their Keptars – something that is also reflected in the way we have done the embroidery on our Folk Keptar Vest but in a modern way.

She designs for magazines and yarn companies and has her own line of self-published designs, hand dyed yarns and kits. This sewing pattern includes a short vest for men or women from Greece, a mid-calf Greek vest, and two variations of a Polish woman's vest with petal-shaped tabs along the bottom edge. That said, there is a great deal of inspiration ot be had for those knitters who are willing to re-chart the designs given. Once you realize the same basic shape is in all of the vests you start looking at the shoulder shaping instead.Both functional and decorative, these wonderful projects for men’s and women’s vests are accompanied by folk stories and regional histories from the country of the design’s origin, including Tibet, Scandinavia, Guatemala, Japan, North America, and many others. Vests - they're festive, warm, easy fitting, and practical - and they're an important part of folkwear traditions world-wide. I love that I will be able to pass them down to younger siblings and keep them for future generations. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material. Knitters will delight in these 25 traditional and innovative vest patterns collected from around the world and through the ages.

These authentic designs can be lavishly decorated, embroidered, appliquéd, and otherwise embellished. Die Weste auf dem Cover verspricht nicht zuviel - man möchte am Liebsten alle 25 Muster nacharbeiten.
