The Fallon Vest is worked from the bottom up in one piece, with minimal seaming required. The bottom hem and armhole ribbing are crocheted directly onto the body for a seamless finish. Customizable elements such as the in-set pockets, fold-over collar, and hoodie are all incorporated without any sewing. The afterthought pockets involve only a small amount of seaming, making this pattern accessible to crocheters of any skill level.
