TIDEPOOLIN' CROCHET VEST

Tidepoolin' Blue Hand-Crocheted Patchwork Vest – One of a Kind

This rich, one-of-a-kind vest is hand-crocheted using secondhand and thrifted yarns, evoking the colors and textures of tidepools, pebbled shores, and deep ocean blues. Featuring layers of sea green, stormy teal, cobalt, sand, and speckled variegated tones, it’s a tactile patchwork built with bold stitches and intentional irregularity.

The vest ties at the front with a hand-twisted rope and is designed for an easy, boxy fit. With chunky textures, open stitches, and visible yarn changes, this vest celebrates imperfection and creative reuse. No two pieces are ever the same.

This vest took over 12 hours to make, using freeform crochet techniques and hand-assembled finishing—with quality, love, and intention stitched into every detail. It has an intentionally boxy, oversized feel and works well across a range of sizes depending on desired fit.

As both a creative and an entrepreneur, I want to acknowledge and emphasize the extreme nature of textile waste and global consumption habits. It is with this in mind that I focus on sourcing yarn and materials exclusively from second-hand and thrift stores to take advantage of and promote the value of recycling and reworking textile waste.

By doing so, I am developing and investing in a sustainable business model celebrating handmade, authentic knitwear.

I work to create pieces that add color and spunk into your life through ever-evolving styles and designs, celebrating the value of unconventional slow fashion🕺🏼 All pieces are one-of-a-kind and handknit by Quoya, Northern California Fiber Artist🧶🌟
