Vertical ridges of front post double crochet give this 1980s vintage crochet pattern its tailored, ribbed texture, while a deep V-neck keeps the silhouette open and easy. Worked in worsted weight yarn, this sleeveless, buttonless crochet vest is one of the quick patterns in the shop, and it layers beautifully over a turtleneck or a crisp blouse, just as the retro photograph shows. It is a rewarding pick for crocheters who enjoy textured stitches and a classic wardrobe staple with a little structure.
