Point 5, Thick and Thin Vest - Free pattern

Point 5, Thick and Thin Vest – Free Pattern.
I scored an amazing deal on 3 precious skeins of Colinette Point 5, and had no idea what to do with it. I thought a simple vest would show off the texture and colour best, and it proved to be an easy and very fast project!

Edging: Tagliatelli (Colinette) colour popsicle: less than one skein (could use a complimentary colour of chunky yarn from your stash)
