Knit Look Sleeveless Shell Sweater

From the blogger: "Sideways ribbing in crochet is very complimentary to the figure as it hugs your particular body shape! This pattern is quick and easy, with one row repeat, and it is guaranteed to fit. Begin with a foundation chain that is the length desired, then work the one row repeat until the work fits from one underarm to the other. Make 2, then connect on the sides and at the shoulders! Has a knitted look, but yes, it is crocheted. Make it cropped, mid length, or long. Layer it under a blouse or jacket."
