I wanted to introduce you guys to my first paid pattern I recently released. Its my Drifter Boho Vest. A lot of time, frustration, and frogging went into making this awesome new pattern, but I couldn’t be happier with the end result. It is truly my favorite design I have made so far (hence why I have already made myself 2 vests!).

Some of you may be wondering if I still plan to offer free patterns or only paid patterns from now on, and the answer is yes, I will still be posting lots of free patterns for you guys! I do plan to make some of my more complex patterns paid only, and I appreciate your understanding and support. Every visit to my blog or purchase of a PDF patterns allows me to keep my blog up and running and sharing great patterns and tips with you all. I watched a Instagram Live from Toni of TLYarnCrafts which lead me to make the decision to make this small change. You can see her post 6 Signs It Might Be Time To Raise Your Prices if you want to check out what inspired this change for me and maybe it will inspire you as well!

About the Drifter Boho Pattern

I wanted to give you guys some basic information about this pattern to help you decide if its something you think you wanted to purchase or not. If you decide you want to purchase the pattern, you can get it here from my Etsy Shop. I will put as much information as I can on here, but if I forget something that you want to know about please leave a comment below and I will get back to you!

Size: This pattern is written in two sizes. Both PDFs are included when you purchase the pattern

The original size fits sizes S-L. The total width of the vest when opened and laid flat is approximately 42 inches. The back panel is 24″ in width. Sizing can also depend on your tension. If you tend to crochet tight I suggest moving up to a 12mm hook. Length can be adjusted by adding or deducting rows. I am a size 10-12 and am 5’9″. I tend to wear a size large in most garments if you want to use the photos to assist you gauging if this pattern is right for you!

The oversized/plus version fits between an XL-2X with directions on how to increase the pattern width even more to accommodate more sizes. This also works great for someone who just wants a more “oversized” fit with their vest. The total width of the vest when opened and laid flat is approximately 56 inches. The back panel is 30″ in width. Sizing can also depend on your tension.

Yarn: I used cotton yarn but really any worsted weight yarn would work. Approximately 620 yards will be needed. This will vary on your tension and well as the length of your tassels. Cotton will work best if you plan to use this as a swim suit coverup.

Level: This is an intermediate level pattern.

What’s in the PDF: The PDF includes a written pattern as well as crochet charts to assist you in following the pattern. For this specific pattern I thought charts would be very beneficial. The charts will help clarify which stitches to crochet into what the over all look of the stitch pattern should be.

 

 When to Wear?

So now that you have decided to purchase the pattern and make it for yourself and a few of your favorite friends, where do you wear it? How about I give you some ideas. I recently used it as a swim suit coverup on my recent Florida vacation to the beach and pool. It looked adorable in photos and I got tons of compliments! Maybe at a summer festival or concert? I can’t wait to wear this adorable vest at Faster Horses Music Festival this summer. I know it will be the perfect light weight accessory to give any outfit that extra Va-Voom without making me overheat. Wherever you decide to wear it, I’d love to see it! Please tag me on any insta photo or Facebook photos you share with my Drifter Boho Vest! Much love XOXO

Hey guys, so I know being able to sell the beautiful things you make is super rewarding, and makes the sore fingers and late nights worth all the effort you put into a piece. I too love to be able to help recoup some of the expenses that come along with this super fun hobby. For that reason, you can sell products made from these patterns, but I would really really appreciate it if you added in something like “Design/pattern from Taylor-Lynn.com” in the product description and tag me in all social media posts that you made using my patterns. That being said, all photo’s and patterns on my blog are property of Taylor-Lynn.com. While I encourage (and appreciate) you guys sharing my pins on pinterest and other social media, please use your own photos to market and sell your finished products! No sharing of my written patterns via copy and pasting, please just share a direct link to my site, but feel free to copy and past them onto a word document for personal use only. Collecting, testing, building, and completing all these patterns/posts takes a great deal of time. Putting that little shout-out in the description will help direct more wonderful amazing people to my blog and help me keep the patterns and tutorials coming. Thank you lots! XOXO
