Funky boho Vest!

I am kind of showing my age with the name reference here! Those of an older vintage will get the reference to the Peculiar Purple pieman from Porcupine Peak! Yah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah-tah! 

This is one size only. Size can be adjusted by going up a hook size, doing a wider border if necessary and yarn selection. Please check measurement carefully.
