Birthday Intarsia

My mom made this vest for me eight or ten years ago. I wore it yesterday (ds's birthday -- today is mine) to his school and people were looking. It has a lot of crochet and embroidery embellishments on top of the intarsia designs.

I wish I knew where the pattern came from. She made herself a cardigan version. All I know is that the yarn is Tahki Cotton Classic and it has worn well.

Look at the little smiley face buttons. Happy, happy!
