Wavelets Vest Pattern

This ocean-inspired vest top for sunny days is worked in a glorious swimming pool turquoise from the textured yarn blend Meadow. Cassie Ward’s understated garment is beginner-friendly and uses filet crochet to create pretty zig zag details. Wavelets Vest is crocheted flat from the bottom up with the scoop neckline echoed on the back, as the front and back pieces are worked alike.

This vest is extra special crocheted in Meadow, a heavy lace-weight yarn that perfectly blends baby llama and fine Merino wool for softness and linen for an exceptionally crisp hand and stitch definition.
