Crochet Class | Agnes Sweater Vest

Agnes Sweater Vest by Bethany Lynne Makes

This vest is for the adventurous in both style and adherence to a pattern. Given as more of a recipe rather than a pattern the Agnes vest lets you play with color and shapes as you update your grandma’s granny squares into a modern and cozy vest (or wear it as a top!) You’ll learn lots about gauge as each size depends on the size of the hook you use and the weight of the yarn you pick. We'll make about 25 squares (in any granny square style you wish!), stitch them together, and then knit or crochet a ribbing to finish. This class is sure to be fun and get you out of your granny comfort zone!
