Luxe Fantasy Cardi Wrap Vest with Sleeves Free Crochet Pattern Page by Kristin Omdahl

An unstructured cardi wrap crochet vest is a wonderful project to take your crochet to the next level. If you can make a rectangular wrap but are intimidated by structured garments, it is the perfect transition project. There are a variety of ways you can style this vest. It can be worn to look loose and unstructured as-is. But with the simple addition of ties, a belt or button(s), you can transform it into an accessory that looks custom fit! This is one of those pieces that you can slip on over just about anything. Dress it up or down, it is a staple for any wardrobe.
