Easy Breezy Lightweight Summer Vest

"For this Easy Breezy Lightweight Summer Vest Crochet Pattern we are creating a crocheted “mesh” using the double crochet stitch and chain 2's. All double crochets will line up making an airy mesh like fabric. We’ll leave the arm holes open, then add optional fringe and optional button or tie closure. This pattern includes “One Size” and a “Plus Size”. There is also a child size available, so you can make an awesome lightweight vest for everyone in your family. "
