Coastal Breezes
At Stitches West we had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Stead from Crafty Flutterby Creations. She is a talented designer with a line of gorgeous shawl pins. We fell in love with this pattern when we saw it.
Coastal Breezes is an asymmetrical vest designed to be worn a multitude of ways: with the shorter side up for a longer vest and narrow collar; or with the longer side up, for a shorter vest and dramatic collar. Plus, with neither right nor wrong sides, you can’t go wrong!

Please Note |
Due to the nature of hand dyeing and the technique we use, each skein is unique. We dye in small batches, so there are no dye lots. The color, distribution, and saturation will vary from skein to skein. If working on a multi-skein project we recommend alternating skeins to avoid visual color differences, pooling, etc. Keep in mind the actual colors may differ based on the color settings of your screen as well (ie blue light filters). |
