This super cool distressed mesh top is perfect as a stand alone vest, or as a layering piece. This pattern is made for intermediate crocheters. This pattern is made-to-fit, meaning that you can make any size, using any size of yarn and hook you like. This piece should take you around 18-25 hours to complete.

Materials

Around 100-300g of yarn - this will be determined by vest size + yarn type

A crochet hook around 0.5-1mm larger than your yarn suggests

A measuring tape

Scissors

Needle for ends

Optionally - 2 stitch markers

Recommended Yarn

Any yarn will work, but I would recommend cotton. The weight of the yarn will affect the thickness of the vest, as well as the appearance of the stitches. Where a thinner weight will give you a light, lacy finish, and a heavier yarn weight will create a thicker, bulkier finish. I prefer a medium to light weight cotton (Around DK), but you can experiment with other materials. Below, I have provided yarn that my testers and I have used for this pattern.

Yeoman Yarns - DK Soft Cotton

Scheepjes - Latona Fingering 3.5

Rowan - Handknit Cotton

Construction Guide

We will create two panels bottom up, and sew them together. Then we will optionally add single crochet borders and sew in ends.
