Vest
I loved this vest when i saw it. It's so easy and goes with just about everything, instead of making it in the colors listed. I made it in different shades of blue (my favorite color). I still have to crochet the edging, but so far this is my favorite garment that I have made.
Rib Ticklers Pattern
Imagine my surprise to see the granny motif pattern, I made that one in 1971. I also have the original cardboard pattern card. It has travelled with me thousands of miles during the last forty years. I will be making another (only bigger).
Granny Square Top
I remember making one of these when I was about 15 about 1973. Mine was purple , lavendar, and green. Maybe I'll make myself another one.
Rib Ticklers Patterns
I still have an original copy of the Rib Ticklers patterns. I made myself a "target" vest and my friend received the granny vest as a present. This just verifies my belief that old patterns are seldom out of style.
