Mershon’s striking duster vest belies a wonderfully simple construction. Crocheted in Kureopatora colorway #1001, a high-contrast blend of black, silver, blue and seashell pink, it’s worked sideways in one piece with slip stitches and crochet chains forming the armholes. The allover pattern of shell-stitch mesh alternates rows of single and double crochet, creating a structured fabric with plenty of drape. The top edge folds over naturally to form the shawl collar.
