In addition to the videos, the PDF includes detailed written instructions guiding you through each step of making the vest. The pattern includes instructions for two size ranges: S–M and L–XL.

This pattern is intended for makers who are familiar with the basics of knitting and basic crochet techniques.
The main “teddy” body of the vest is worked in knitting. Crochet is used only for finishing the edges and making the ties.
Thanks to the step-by-step instructions and included video tutorials, the project is also accessible to beginners who are comfortable following detailed guidance.
The only element that may require a bit more experience is the recommended yarn, as it is very fluffy and can be slightly tricky to work with at first. If you’ve never used this type of yarn before, it’s a good idea to practice on smaller swatches or simple test pieces before starting the project.
While working on the vest, it’s very important to take notes at each stage and use stitch markers to keep track of your progress.
