The early pink buds of the redbud that form a lovely contrast with the grays and browns of a winter woodlot were the inspiration for this vest.

The vest pattern includes waist shaping and shoulder shaping for a flattering fit.

The Redbud Vest is now available as a digital download. The digital pattern includes a few changes in pattern presentation and information about steeking, but is otherwise unchanged.
