The dandelion is often written off as a weed, but stop and look closely and you find a flower full of detail, beauty and life. The same goes for people. The Dandelion – The Vest is inspired by everyone who has got back up after hard times and found their own way forward. The design is a reminder that what stands out is often the most beautiful thing of all.

Up & Up is CosyMonday's collection inspired by hope, growth and resilience. The designs tell stories about people, nature and life – and show how clothes can hold warmth, personality and meaning.

The Dandelion – The Vest is knitted from the bottom up. The front is knitted in two parts before the pieces are joined. Small shoulder wings give the garment a soft silhouette, and the vest is finished with hand-embroidered dandelions that make every piece one of a kind.

The pattern is clearly laid out and suits you if you want to combine knitting with simple embroidery techniques. Each element is explained step by step, so you can make a garment with both personality and meaning.

• A flexible cast on
• Knitting in ends as you go
• Simple embroidery techniques on knitting
• Using stitch markers
• Neat finishing

The airy mohair combined with soft wool gives a light, warm vest with beautiful texture. The embroidery adds depth and makes every finished garment one of a kind.

No two dandelions are alike – and your embroidery does not have to be either. Vary the placing, the size or the number of flowers to give the vest a personal touch and make each garment your own.
