Evermore Vest

Evermore Vest by Jess Coppom Make & Do Crew

What is Being Made

The Evermore Vest is a seamless crochet vest designed as a four-season statement piece that brings effortless bohemian flair to any outfit. This intermediate-level crochet project features a modern, airy construction that works across multiple sizes, from S/M through 3X/4X, with a consistent length of 33.5 inches from shoulder to bottom.

Design and Construction Techniques

This vest employs a distinctive two-phase construction method. The design begins with sunburst squares that are crocheted individually as quick and satisfying components. These squares are then connected using a continuous join technique, which is supported by an included video tutorial to guide crafters through the joining process. Once the squares are assembled, the main body of the vest is crocheted to complete the seamless garment. This approach combines modular construction with seamless finishing for a polished final result.

Crochet Stitches and Techniques

The Evermore Vest features a modern, airy take on the traditional granny stitch, which serves as the foundation for both the sunburst squares and the vest body. The granny stitch variation creates an open, breathable fabric that contributes to the bohemian aesthetic while remaining suitable for year-round wear. The continuous join technique used to connect the squares is a contemporary construction method that eliminates the need for traditional seaming.
