The Sticker vest is inspired by the vibrant and carefree spirit of the Mediterranean summer, capturing elements of its playful charm, such as sea creatures, fruits, and nature motifs. The design blends fun, colorful appliqués with a versatile crochet structure, making it suitable to wear it in any season. The real charm lies in its personalization—each person can choose which appliqués to add, making the vest uniquely theirs while keeping the joyful, summery spirit alive all year-round.
This is a graded crochet pattern. Designed to have some ease, each size has a measurement and a stitch count, so it's easy to understand how big the piece will fit on your body. If you prefer an even looser garment it is advised to upsize by one size, in case you will use it more as a layering piece on top of a thick sweater. Sizes available range from XXS to 4XL.
