A light, airy V-stitch top that can be worn as a sleeveless sweater or a casual crochet vest. The relaxed, slightly oversized fit makes it comfortable for everyday outfits, while the open texture gives it that effortless summer feel. You can try it on as you go and tweak the length, width, and armholes to suit your body—no stress, just a simple and enjoyable project.

Top is made from 2 panels (front and back) joined together. Each panel is worked bottom up, starting with lower ribbing. Armhole ribbing is worked separately and sewn on. Neckline is finished with simple edging.
