With the weather unpredictable for the next few days, The Yarnistas have layering on the mind. After all, it’s the only way to survive the ever-moving goalpost that is Mid-Atlantic weather. We think the Mila Hooded Vest is just the ticket. This bulky weight vest will knit up so quickly that you’ll have just it in time for Spring. Not only will this vest serve as a cozy layer while it’s still a bit chilly out after dark, the Mila Hooded Vest will transition perfectly to outerwear once the temps begin to rise. Wear it to the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning, on a weekend hike, or sitting and watching the sunset while sipping wine in a vineyard. We promise you’ll find a reason to bring your Mila along if you can imagine the adventure!
