Mesh Pattern Vest

"Hello everyone! Usually when I buy yarn for my projects, I keep in mind that the colors must be suitable for photography, as some yarn types and colors make it hard to get a clear picture of the design. This time, however, I've used yarn that I bought with a bunch of others about three years ago, when I was visiting a city abroad. Immediately after that, all the yarns transformed into projects on my blog within a few months.....well, except this one. After many failed trials, (and many years, in which it lived in a box) it came to my mind that this yarn needs a somehow transparernt pattern, one with big eyelets. And since I've been wanting to use Mesh patterns in my designs for a while, the decision was already made up for me, and I'm so happy with the result. It could be worn as a somewhat formal vest (and a hat), or -if another type of yarn is used- a tunic for summer outings. I hope everyone enjoys making and wearing it :)."
