Square one 2-in-1 sweater and vest

Whether this is your first time dipping your toe into filet crochet or you’re a seasoned pro, why not take it back to Square One. This super simple make is worked seamlessly from the top down with cute, staggered checkerboard detailing at the sides. The construction style means you can make your top whatever length suits you, and you have the option of making a summer friendly vest or a cosy autumn cover-up. Whichever you choose, you know it’s hip to be square. Graded for sizes XS-5XL with loads of customisation options, this pattern uses DK yarn and a 4mm hook.
