The Driftwood Vest is a sleeveless top that features a classic, crew neckline and beautiful knit-like texture. This unisex garment is worked in rows from the bottom-up with flattering underarm shaping, so the straps sit comfortably on the shoulders. Plus, it can be layered during the chilly seasons or worn all by itself during the warmer ones!

The pattern includes easy to follow, color coded instructions for 9 sizes with example photos and a video tutorial specifically for this pattern that helps get you started and through the trickier parts.
