MAKEMECHIC Crochet Sweater Vest, solid

Apricot softens a sunburned shoulder and reads warm against pale skin. It sits bright by raw denim and deepens next to a late-summer tan. The crochet surface picks up light. Button details catch at the centre without fuss. High-waisted shaping meets layered tops with a cropped fall that keeps proportions crisp.

At the edge of its limit the vest breathes into a long day. In a hot room the open knit lets air move. On a windy walk the buttoned front holds the silhouette in place. When a size falls between letters the layer reads looser rather than tight, the crochet giving visible texture where a smooth knit would not.

One of 229 on the knits and layers rail in the MAKEMECHIC rails. It also answers to crochet, plus size, sweaters. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
