The Free Spirit Boho Summer Crochet Vest is a must have accessory this summer. The carefree bohemian style is a favorite of many. It makes me think of hikes in the desert, nights watching the stars and days spent on road trips.
This vest is works up quickly using one skein of Red Heart It’s a Wrap Sprinkles yarn. This is a very thin yarn that helps keep this vest light and airy so you will not over heat in the summer sun. Red Heart kindly provided the yarn for this project.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this crochet vest. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information. If you would like all of this in a nicely formatted printable format, you can purchase the Ad-Free Large Print PDF Pattern.
I designed this vest to be worked all in one piece. The inspiration came from some DIY tutorials where they sewed scarves together to create a vest. The beauty of crochet it that we can simply crochet the vest as one piece instead of sewing anything together.

The Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a print out of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted ad-free large font PDF version of the pattern. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag or basket.
I moved all the photos to the end of the PDF so you can reference them as you needed them and print just the pattern without using up as much ink. The Premium PDF version of the pattern can be purchased on Etsy of Ravelry.
