MATERIALS

Medium Weight (4) Yarn – Lion Brand Skein Tones in “Almond” and “Cocoa” .
Number of skeins needed:
S/M – 4 (2 of each color) skeins
L/XL – 6 (3 of each color) skeins
2XL/3XL – 7 (3 of one color, 4 of the color used for vest AND ribbing) skeins
Approximately 307 grams of yarn were used for the size S/M.

For the light weight version, I used 4 skeins of Drops Alpaca Silk in the shades “Sage Green” and “Off White” for a size S/M

4.5mm Crochet Hook (my FAVORITE crochet hooks)

Darning Needle

Scissors

Stitch Markers (I personally don’t use a stitch marker for this pattern, but if you easily lose track of where you started or are a beginner, stitch markers are very helpful.)
