Lightweight and feminine, this vest is the perfect accompaniment to any outfit. Make it longer for a more dramatic effect. This lace vest has raglan armholes, no front neck shaping (it’s straight along the front edges), and short-row shaping along the lower edge to give it the points in front. A quick edging pattern with elongated stitches finishes off the front, armhole and bottom edges.
