PLACER VEST

Crochet vest step by step

Summer crochet vest

Ana de la Hoz(@puntadasnomadas), chose Placer as the name for this summer crochet vest because:

❇️ Knitting it with #orquestaovillova yarn is very pleasant with its cotton and linen blend.

❇️ The mandala on the back with its inspiring harmony and the combination of dots and spaces that surround it giving it that loose and free fall so necessary to enjoy the pleasures of life.

❇️ If pleasure had a color for me it would be this shade, a combination of softness and strength.

❇️ And because it is a garment to be enjoyed, a perfect complement and cool at the same time, and it is easily adaptable to very different bodies and styles.

Summer crochet vest knitted with 3mm needle with a single ball.

Kit to knit a crochet vest

What is a Knitting Kit?

A knitting kit is a set of elements and materials needed to make a knitting project. It usually includes the pattern or knitting instructions and the required balls of yarn or wool.

Advantages of buying a knitting kit :

• Comfort and convenience: By purchasing a kit, you have all the necessary materials in one package. This saves you the time and effort of having to individually search and purchase the items required for the project.
• Coordination of materials: Knitting kits are carefully designed to ensure that the materials provided are appropriate for the project. This includes choosing the right thickness, type of yarn and quantity.
• Learning and practice: Many knitting kits are designed with specific projects that are ideal for beginners or for learning new techniques. By following the pattern included in the kit, you can acquire knitting skills and practice progressively.
• Variety of options: Knitting kits offer a wide range of options in terms of projects and styles. You can find kits for knitting scarves, hats, shawls, sweaters and more. This allows you to explore different techniques and create a variety of garments and accessories.
• Perfect Gift: A knitting kit can be an ideal gift for someone who enjoys knitting or is interested in learning.

Sustainability: Beautiful wool…

…that take care of your health… Synthetic fibers do not allow the skin to breathe and make it irritated, and many of them are petroleum-derived products that have been dyed with dyes containing heavy metals and other toxic substances. Natural fibers, however, allow ventilation of the skin while protecting from the cold and insulating the heat.

… and the environment… Wool, silk and cotton, being natural fibers, are made with more environmentally friendly techniques. They are also 100% biodegradable yarns.

READ ME. Important information:

You should keep in mind that artisanal dyeing is not like industrial dyeing. Batches are small, and the intensity and distribution of colors may vary from one skein to another. If you need the skeins to be from the same dye lot and as similar as possible, please write this in the order notes to take this into account.

It is also important for you to know that colors may look different on each screen and that the mix and distribution of colors you receive may differ from the photo because no two skeins are exactly alike.

In any case, no worries! Because if when you receive the skeins they are not what you expected, we will start the return process without any problem and at no cost to you.

Washing recommendations:

When it comes to washing delicate hand-woven garments, it is important to take extra precautions to maintain their shape and quality, especially if they are woven with hand-dyed yarns.

1. • Hand wash:
     1. Fill a container with warm water and neutral soap or mild detergent specific for delicate garments or wool.
     2. Immerse the garment in the water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. Avoid rubbing or twisting the garment, as this may damage the fibers and cause deformation.
     3. Careful rinsing: Rinse the garment with clean water several times until no detergent residue remains. Be sure not to twist it while rinsing it.
   • Dry flat: Place the garment on a clean towel and gently roll the towel to remove excess water. Then, stretch the garment on a flat surface, in block form, to dry. Avoid hanging it, as this may deform it. Tends to shade, prolonged sun exposure can fade colors.
   • Proper storage: After washing and drying, store in a clean, dry place. You can spray the garment with our mothproof perfume, gently fold it and place it in a breathable cloth bag.
