That looks really good! The armholes fit very nicely, and the length and all is just right. Fabulous job!

Thanks! Yes, Stephanie. I wrote the pattern which will shortly be for sale on The Garter Belt as a pdf download . The sizes are in 4" increments from 36-52 inches. The yarn came from a recycled Brooks Bros sweater, but some good substitutions include Black Abbey Yarns or the Bartlett Yarns 2 ply options. These are around 210-220 yards in a 4 oz skein. Also, WEBS has cones right now of something called Broca Softspun that sounds like a good choice.

You're looking for a slightly heavy worsted wt yarn with a bit of a rustic fuzziness to it.

This vest is perfect! And such a great model, too.
