🔧 Construction Overview:

This vest is made from two rectangles (front and back) and then seamed together. You’ll leave space for the neck and armholes, making it easy and seamless!

📋 Pattern Instructions:

1. Make the Back Panel

(Adjust number of chains for width and number of rows for length)

2. Make the Front Panel

Follow the exact same instructions as the back panel until you reach 17 inches in length. Then:

To create neckline opening:

• Work DC across first 25 stitches, turn.

• Work in rows until shoulder measures 22 inches in length total.

• Fasten off.

• Reattach yarn to remaining stitches, skip center 10 stitches for neck, DC across, and finish second shoulder.

3. Assembly

• Place front and back panels together (right sides facing).

• Seam sides using whip stitch or slip stitch, leaving about 8 inches open for armholes.

• Seam shoulder tops (optional: leave a few stitches unseamed for a boat neck style).

4. Optional Ribbing (Neck + Armholes)

To add a polished finish:

• Neckline: Attach yarn to neckline edge, SC evenly around, SL ST to join, CH 1, SC one more round. Fasten off.

• Armholes: Repeat the same method around each armhole.

🌟 Tips:

• Use a soft, breathable yarn for year-round comfort.

• To make it a crop top, reduce number of rows.

• For a longer vest, simply add rows.

• Add decorative buttons or embroidery for a personalized touch.
