Meet the Joli Ruban Buttoned Vest — a reversible filet crochet top designed to give you two looks in one.

Worked sideways in one continuous piece, Joli Ruban features a softly shaped buttoned V-neck on one side and a simple boat neck on the other, so either side can be worn to the front. A delicate ribbon bow motif flows through the crochet fabric, adding a playful romantic detail while keeping the overall silhouette light, modern and easy to layer.

The pattern includes three sizes, with even more possibilities through experimenting with yarn weight and gauge.

With its nearly seamless construction — only the shoulders need joining — Joli Ruban is a satisfying filet crochet project with a rather clever construction and plenty of room to make it your own.

Skill Level: Intermediate

This pattern uses filet crochet techniques, simple shaping, button placement, and shoulder seaming. Familiarity with reading crochet charts is recommended.

Materials

• Fine/lightweight cotton yarn or yarn suitable for achieving your chosen gauge
• 3.0 mm crochet hook for the standard gauge
• Buttons — 6 for Size 1, 7 for Size 2, or 8 for Size 3
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Sizing: The Joli Ruban Buttoned Vest includes 3 sizes.

At the standard gauge, the sizes are designed to fit approximately:
Size 1: 82 cm (32¼ in) bust
Size 2: 86 cm (33¾ in) bust
Size 3: 90 cm (35½ in) bust

One of the lovely things about Joli Ruban is that the sizing can also be expanded through your choice of yarn and gauge. For example, when worked in a lightweight yarn with a 3.5 mm hook at a gauge of 12 single filet squares × 10 rows = 10 cm × 10 cm, the approximate fit becomes:

Size 1: 90 cm (35½ in) bust
Size 2: 95 cm (37½ in) bust
Size 3: 100 cm (39¼ in) bust

This gives you plenty of room to experiment with yarn, drape and finished size. Always make a gauge swatch before beginning to determine the measurements your chosen yarn and hook will produce.
