The Coastal Waves Vest is a breezy, made-to-measure crochet pattern inspired by the coastal cowgirl aesthetic. Designed for versatility, this piece can be styled as a crochet festival top, a beachy summer layer, or a playful vest for everyday wear.

This pattern is fully customizable to your measurements, ensuring a perfect fit every time. The vest is worked in three pieces—two cups and a ruffled bottom—with ties added at the neck and front for adjustability. The halter-style neckline and tie-front closure give it a light, airy feel, while the ruffled hem adds a feminine touch.
