I started the last row of crochet on the neck of the 1902 vest over the weekend.

1902 Vest Neck Trim

I really didn't like how the scallops were looking so I sewed up the side seams and tried it on last night. I like them even less on me so I ripped out the ones I had done and fastened off the yarn. That makes the neck done. (And saves me how many hundreds of stitches? It seriously could be a thousand since the row of treble crochet was about 800 and it increased after that.) Next up will be the trim around the hem. I'll also have to open up the seams about an inch at the armscyes. They're supposed to be fitted, I know, but I made them a little too fitted.

A layer for warmth, yes?

Still very pretty and lacey without the scallops
