Billie Vest is a sleek and modern crocheted vest with a simple, elegant look. It features a relaxed fit, a subtle textured pattern, and refined edges that give it a polished finish. The vest is crocheted seamlessly from the top down: first, the back is worked back and forth, then the two front pieces are worked separately, before all parts are joined and the body is completed in one piece. Finally, an edging is crocheted all the way around the vest and the armholes. The vest features small hook-and-eye closures at the front and is designed to be worn either way – front or back.
