Description
The Braidy Vest is a slightly cropped, boxy, and textured vest that features cables all throughout the body. If you ever wanted to try cables, I’ll show you the ropes (or braids, lol, get it)! With both written instructions and charts, this pattern may take you on some twists and turns but will definitely get you weaving in no time. Made with super bulky yarn, you’ll have a new hair-loom to add to the me-made wardrobe in a matter of days.
