Description
The Diamond Line Vest is a feminine design featuring a beautiful diamond pattern at the top of both front and back. The vest has a boxy fit and a wide neck opening. The vest is worked top-down, making it easy to adjust the length. It is worked with twisted rib edges, and the neckline includes an extra detail. The vest is designed with a positive ease of 20–22 cm / 8–8.75 in. If you prefer an even looser fit, choose one size larger than your usual size.
