For clarification, 1 chart in crochet chart format is included in the pattern.
In addition, a template helps you through the crochet process.

The scarf, when laid flat, has a size of about 27 x 100 cm (without fringe), 27 x 103 cm (with fringe).

"Peek-a-Boo" roughly translates as "Peekaboo"
A lovely name for this style!

This sleeveless vest is held by a button, which also stabilizes the collar.

The "beads" of the pattern used look as if they are wrapped.
This impression is created because the stitch groups are worked over two stitches
- simple, but not boring.
