I worked this vest up for my daughter. It's my first vest ever...I'm very
excited about it. It's just using granny squares. I used 12 squares on the back,
1 on each shoulder top, 2 each side below the armpit, 10 on the front and used 2
triangles in the front. The squares I used a H hook and 4ply yarn. The white is
Simply Soft and the purples are Red Heart yarn. I did 3 rows of a granny square
and weaved in all ends. Total granny square count was 30 squares and 2
triangles. I made this bigger so that my daughter will be able to wear it next
year. I'm going to do something to make it close, but haven't decided what yet.
I think I'll get my mom's advice. I sewed the granny squares together. Triangle:
ch 6, slip st tog to make a ring, ch 3. Do 3 dc and ch 2 and 4 dc. Turn and slip
st in between 1st and 2nd dc, ch 3 and do 3 dc more in same space. 3dc in the
corner, ch 2 and 3 dc (corner made). 4dc in between 3rd and 4th dc of bottom
row, turn and slip st in between 1st and 2nd dc, ch 3 and do 3 dc more in same
space. 3dc in next space. 3dc in corner, ch 2, 3dc (corner made). 3dc in space
and 4dc in between 3rd and 4th dc of bottom row. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
I used JoAnn's brand Cello novelty yarn to fringe around the vest. Any novelty
yarn would work.
