This is the ultimate in summer wardrobe. This will take any outfit to the next level without adding to the heat factor. Even though it is a "summer" vest, this could easily be worn all year long depending on what is worn underneath. I really like this design because it looks so cool from the back.

Great vest. Very smart design and for those that love to wear vests, like I do, then I know I will be making this in more than one color. I can not wait to get started. Vests can be so versatile and make your wardrobe larger than it really is. I really love this design. I appreciate the free pattern.

Oooh, I love this. It is such a simple pattern and works up so quickly too. I have never had an open back vest before. The pattern is written for 3 sizes, and is easily adjustable if needed. Adding embellishments to this vest would really make it pop. I may even add a button band.

This open back vest really IS an open back vest. Meaning, it is essentially backless. I am not sure what kind of use I could get out of wearing something like this. She shows it with athletic wear. Maybe I would wear this vest (crocheted in black) over a simple white tee shirt. It might look kinda hip that way. The only downside is there are only instructions for small, medium, and large.
