A buttoned vest with an elegant, formal design that easily blends with urban and modern styles. Its unique and versatile look makes it perfect for any occasion.
In this design, we will crochet the three parts of the vest (the back and the two front sections) individually. The bottom ribbing is crocheted in one piece, along with the body of the vest, as well as the central trims of the front sections. All parts of the vest are crocheted sideways, from left to right.
Once the body of the vest is completed, we will join the sides with a row of slip stitches, and we will form the armhole ribbing. To finish the vest, we will make a preparatory row for the neck ribbing, crochet the ribbing, and close the shoulders using either a needle or the crochet hook itself.
