Summer Pop Vest
This breezy vest makes a great layering piece for warmer months. The versatility of this vest makes it easy to go from the beach to a wedding with the same stunning layering piece.
The pretty open stitches on a diagonal are accented by popcorn stitches for added texture. Simply make three rectangles with no increases or decreases and join them together. Easy construction and a simple eight row repeat makes is a good introduction to lace crochet for beginners with some crochet experience.
There is a free version of this pattern and a video tutorial on my blog tealandfinch.com. This listing is for the ad-free PDF. Please see my website for tester photos in other sizes.
