Ozark Mountain Vest

Ozark Mountain Vest

Mountain View, Arkansas.

Mountain View, Arkansas is a great place to visit with the Folk Art Center, bluegrass festivals and fantastic views. Nearby are the Blanchard Caverns, the inspiration for this ruggedly handsome vest. With its colorway inspired by the Ozarks themselves, the texture in the sections, created by strategically placed reverse stockinette stitches, is a nod to the craggy stalactites.
