This Downloadable PDF Pattern contains full instructions on how to create your own beautiful crochet cover-up. This beautiful crochet pattern works up quickly and creates a unique lace design that reminded me of the star shaped spice named Anise, hence the name for this pattern. This vest doubles as a light summer cardigan and a swim suit cover-up. Made in a lightweight cotton yarn, it feels delicate and airy.
