Vest Completed

As promised, the modeled pics!




I crocheted the collar instead of ribbing. I wanted more of a beach look instead of beachhouse.
Even with both layers together, you can see how rather sheer this is for summer.
What I love about this is all the lovely texture.

A rather fun vest to wear for the summer. And i love how you've paired it with the pants. Good job, girl.

Monique - your creations never fail to inspire me!! They are always so prefessionally knitted and you go, where I can only ever dream of going!

Well done - it's fabulous. Keep it up
