Duncan Men’s Crochet Sweater Vest Pattern by Marly Bird and Robyn Chachula

Craft a timeless addition to your wardrobe with the Duncan Men’s Crochet Sweater Vest, a featured piece from the “Jolly Holiday with Marly, Volume 1” collection. This vest, constructed with the hearty Wool of the Andes Bulky yarn, offers both warmth and resilience, making it an ideal choice for daily wear or special occasions.

The body of the vest is textured with the Granite stitch, providing a tactile and visual depth, while the ribbing at the hem and the pronounced collar add definition and form. A raised ridge stitch across the chest introduces a striking detail, enhancing the vest’s masculine charm.

Designed to layer comfortably over a shirt, the Duncan vest boasts a generous fit for broad shoulders and a classic silhouette. The addition of a fashionable separating zipper lends a contemporary edge, along with practicality. Adjust the length with ease by modifying the rows below the armhole, ensuring a custom fit for sizes S to 4XL.

Embrace the rugged sophistication of the Duncan Sweater Vest, a crochet piece that’s as stylish as it is functional.
