Looking for a pattern for a sweater vest
Idk if this is exactly the right place to ask, but I figure a community specifically dedicated to knitting patterns would care enough to not give me AI bullshit.
Anyway, I really wanna ask my nan to make me a sweater vest, but she prefers to have a pattern to refer to while she works, just to make sure she's not getting lost, and as I stated above, I want to make sure I'm getting a real pattern she can actually follow, given the high likelihood of Google just spitting out ai generated patterns that don't work. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is the wrong place

Here's a bunch of free vests on Ravelry. Some with buttons, some with colorwork, etc.

You will find many lovely options on Ravelry. I spend quite a lot of time there looking at patterns by my favourite designers. This means that when I want to make a particular kind of garment, I most likely have some ideas already.
When I want to make a garment and I can’t immediately think of a pattern, I check out Brooklyn Tweed, who have an extensive collection of patterns and a good search filter. Here is a link to their tunics and vests. Their patterns aren’t cheap, but they’re meticulously written and make great garments.

I would look on Ravelry. There are tons of patterns there and they aren’t AI. You can do an advanced search to narrow things down.
