This is a double-breasted, menswear inspired crochet vest that is worked sideways to create 3 pieces (2 front panels, 1 back). I designed it to be worn on its own, or over other pieces to make it a very versatile addition to any travel wardrobe. Wear it with shorts and flip flops, T-shirts and jeans or dress pants and bling.
