Clamshell Lace Waterfall Vest

"This vest has brought out a romantic side of me that’s been put on hold for a long time, and I’m so thankful for it! We all need a little sand in our toes and a little romance in our life, sometimes. I’ll be wearing my vest on a date with my husband some night this week, but it would be just as home at church on Sunday or at the beach. I like to pair it with my favorite maxi dress, but as you see in the photos, it works just as well with a ruffled camisole and your favorite pair of jeans. That’s another thing I love about this project. Simple designs allow the most versatility, and give you more bang for your buck. This would make a perfect gentle introduction to crochet lace- there’s no seaming, no shaping, and minimal counting, if you’re clever with your stitch markers."
