I was so happy to see my vest design in the upcoming spring issue of Crochet! Magazine. It was inspired by the 1940s suspender-style vest and jumpers so popular during the late '30s and WWII. Was it a surprise that the editor named it Vintage Kristen Vest? That's me!

I flatter myself that it would even work for a 1940s costume with the right hairstyle, skirt and blouse, and accessories. Any vintage-loving crocheters can get the pattern in the spring 2015 issue – read about where and when to get it on my other blog.
