What you need to know

Beginners looking to take their crochet to the next stage will love the challenge of Val Pierce's waistcoat! Try two detailed stitch patterns in this impressive summer cover-up. The top half is worked using a crossed treble stitch. It's a bit fiddly to master but you'll love the texture of the finished effect. The bottom section is more openwork and uses clusters to make a shell pattern.
