X VEST ✨ – One surprisingly simple construction, so many ways to wear it!

Looking for a crochet vest that feels completely different from the usual designs?

Simple stitches.
A surprisingly clever construction.
And a finished vest that looks anything but basic. ✨

X VEST is the kind of project that makes people ask: “How did you make that?”

The magic is in the design: you’ll start with the first front, continue into the back where the fabric divides and crosses to create the signature X-shaped construction, then join everything together again and finish with the second front.

No separate pieces to sew together. No complicated shaping. Just simple stitches and a clever construction that does all the work for you.

And the result? A relaxed, modern vest that can look completely different depending on how you style it.

Wear it open and flowing for an easy layered look, add a belt for a more fitted silhouette, or wrap the fronts for a cozy, feminine style. One vest — so many possibilities!

Make it in a warm, cozy yarn for fall and winter layering, or choose a lighter-feeling bulky cotton or cotton-blend yarn for a more relaxed transitional piece.

The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the vest length to suit your height and preferred fit.
