Dinosaurs One Knit Vest Pattern With 5 Motifs (Leisure Arts, Leaflet 601
This leaflet features 5 different poses that you are to duplicate stitch onto a basic vest pattern.
I will be enlarging the charts and using a different color of yarn to make these.
Another modification I will do is to make two front so the vest is reversible.
Paid a lot for delivering the pattern but it was for an order I got from a customer.
