Subtle texture created by working into the third loop of half double crochet rows and a bit of surface crochet along with angled edges make this piece just different enough to be interesting without being difficult to make. Add a few bold buttons and you have a quick and easy statement piece to dress up your fall wardrobe!

The pattern includes several tutorial photos to help further illustrate written instructions plus a color coded symbol chart.
