Flash Pattern Friday – Olwen

Hello Everyone!

It’s time for a Special Flash Pattern release! This means that we give a normally paid pattern away for free for the weekend!

Starting today, Friday 10/25, you can get the Olwen vest pattern for free on Ravelry using the code FLASH. This offer runs through Sunday, 10/27.

This lovely vest was designed by Rachel Brockman, and uses Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted yarn in color 12257 Pulp. This is a beautiful 100% non-superwash wool yarn that has a wonderful texture and durability. We offer many beautiful colors that allows for creativity in projects.

The Olwen features a lovely cable motif on the front that adds a nice texture and visual interest to the vest. It also creates this interesting hemline due to the differences in row gauges.

Deep armholes enhance comfort and make it easier to layer over different outfits. This is a versatile piece that can really transform an outfit. Whether it’s paired with a turtleneck for a cozy look or layered over a dress for something dressier, it will become your wardrobe staple.

A go-to vest is such a handy piece, especially for transitional seasons. Having a wide range of colors in this yarn allows for so much creativity! Whether someone wants something bold or a more subtle tone, there’s a perfect option for every style.

Knit, Wear, and Enjoy!
