Fresh Off the Block Vest

Meet the Fresh Off the Block Vest, a vintage-inspired oversized layering piece with bold checkered vibes and serious streetwear flair. With 10" of ease in the body and a relaxed fit, this vest brings major 90s energy while keeping things comfy and cool.

It’s a Mae to Measure pattern, designed to fit your exact measurements. The body is worked in the round and then split into rows between the armholes, making it a fun project for advanced beginners looking to try color changing.

Use any yarn weight you like! I used fingering for a light and flowy finish that works in both summer and winter. The pattern is stash-friendly with 4 pops of color and 1 main color.

The checkers do all the talking, and every version turns out so fun and unique! It’s one of those patterns you’ll want to make more than once.
