Perfect for the office, but versatile enough to dress up your weekend adventures. This vest is worked in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then divided to work the fronts and back separately. Two rows of crochet finish off the front and armhole edges; one row of single crochet and another of reverse single crochet. An alternate edging of a narrow garter stitch band is included.
The photos show a cropped vest only with side/bust shaping, but the pattern includes instructions for a more standard vest without the shaping.
Perfect in any color you might want to use, make sure to finish it off with a big unique button.
