Outstanding and versatile pattern!

Wow!! What a great pattern!! Honestly I want one for myself! Super easy to follow, taking you thru it step-by-step. I did a Bear pathfinder for carnaval but with beautiful fabric so my girl can use the vest again and again. The garment is absolutely stunning! See the pics!

Perfect and endless pattern

Mon fils voulait un déguisement de dragon pour carnaval, après de nombreuse recherche j'ai enfin décourvert T+T <3

Patron très facile à réaliser et dont le rendu est dingue!

J'ai déjà également réalisé une version croisée dans un pull feutré du papa pour ma mini. Just ouahhh!!

Je recommande ce patron!

Love how this pattern can look so different

I've made a few Pathfinder vests and they are all so different. Not only the fabric, but the various options in the pattern can make such a difference.

Brilliant pattern

Such clear instructions and paired beautifully with the Grove coat. Was an incredibly enjoyable project, and I can't wait to gift to my nephew for his birthday 💙

So easy and fun to make

This is the 3rd Twig and Tale pattern I have purchased and it is was so easy and fun to make, even while wrangling the ridiculously heavy upholstery weight velvet I chose to use. The super clear step by step instructions made it very simple to understand and follow and I love all the little special ways you can customize your cape! Can’t wait to make more for birthdays and holidays.

Great pattern

Made the rabbit version for our little niece. I was a bit afraid to start with this pattern, but it was not to hard. Now my daughter really loves a unicorn one, so starting on that one next.

Great way to change things up!

I bought the animal add-on for adults so I could make our family Pathfinder vests modeled after our favorite blue heeled family. ;-) I was easily able to adapt the hood to match the style, and I modeled the width of the tail using the f fox tail included in the set. Instructions were easy to follow!
