Knitted Cowl Vest

I had a hooded scarf that I crocheted but it never quite fit right. It was one of those things I made in the early days and I could never quite bring myself to give it away or pull it apart to make something else. I'd look at it with all my other scarfs and cozy winter things every time I opened the draw and then it hit me that I'd been holding onto something that I never wear for over 10 years. That realisation was exactly what I needed to pull it out and undo it. With all my balls of freshly unraveled yarn I wanted to make a kind of cowl vest, I like cropped sweaters and cowls so it's kind of a combination of both. I'm in love with how warm it is and that I still have left over yarn to make something else with.
