The main feature of this design is a motif using the knit-look crochet technique featured on my best-selling book “Learn Embossed Crochet.” The vest also includes a decorative edging in Crocodile Stitch, so you get two of my favorite crochet techniques in one pattern!

This Bohemian-style circular vest flatters any body type, and is a perfect addition to your own handmade closet, or an amazing one of a kind gift for a loved one. The instructions cover sizes S through 3X, because all lovely ladies deserve pretty handmade accessories!
