The Dandelion by CosyMonday - Knitting Pattern

The Dandelion from CosyMonday is a knitting pattern from the Up&Up series for a striped vest in soft fluffy quality, inspired by the Norwegian dandelion, which many see as a weed, but is a beautiful and intricate flower if you look closer at it. This is a tribute to dandelion children, who, despite the toughest conditions, manage to thrive and become the most beautiful people.

The design combines classic form with a playful expression in light pink, yellow, and off-white. The vest features a straight boat neck, double ribbing, and small wings on the shoulders. The front is knitted in two different parts and decorated with two hand-embroidered dandelions at the bottom of the right side.
