Instructions

Panel – make two identical

Ch 138

Row 1: Sc in 9th Ch from hook, Ch3, skip next 2 Ch, Dc1 in next Ch, *[Ch3, skip next 2 Ch, Sc1 in next Ch, Ch3, Skip next 2 Ch, Dc1 in next Ch]* Repeat from *to* across to end of the chain, turn work

Row 2: Ch1 Sc1 in 1st Dc, *[ Ch2, (Dc+Ch1+Dc) in next Sc, Ch2, Sc1 in next Dc}* repeat from *to*, end with last Sc in 3rd Ch of turning Ch.turn work

Rows 2-3 are the repeat pattern for this entire Vest

I made 10 repeats for every panel.

Make sure you have the measure you need for the width of the vest, adding rows will make it wider, and adding chains will make it longer.

Joining

Fold both panels in half, right side facing you,

Measure 9” from the top down on the joining part of the panels to mark the neck hole.

Use stitch markers on both panels to mark. Make sure both panels are straight and calculate the height.

This will also be the height for the armholes. So mark them on both sides.

Using a different color of yarn (optional)

Introduce the yarn to the 1st st top-down of any joining part, *[Sc1 in the 1st st of one p[anel, Sc1 in the same st on the second panel, Ch1, Sc1 on Ch space, Sc1 of first panel and Sc1 on Ch space of 2nd panel, Ch1]* repeat from *to* to the end, secure yarn and cut

Repeat on all 4 joining parts, two sides, front and back.

Finishing

Cut your yarn and weave in the ends.
