Making the Pentagon

Round 1:

Start with a magic ring.

Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet).

Place one double crochet inside the ring, chain 1.

Repeat (2 double crochets, chain 1) four more times.

Pull the magic ring closed.

Slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 to complete the round.

Round 2:

Chain 3, place one double crochet in the same chain 1 space.

Increase in the next chain 1 space: (2 double crochets, chain 1, 2 double crochets).

Repeat around, finishing the round with a slip stitch.

Round 3:

Chain 3, place one double crochet in the same chain 1 space, chain 1, 2 double crochets in the same space.

Continue with (2 double crochets, chain 1) in each space, increasing in chain 1 spaces.

Repeat around and slip stitch to complete the round.

Round 4 & Customization:

Chain 3, place one double crochet in the same stitch, chain 1, 2 double crochets in the same space.

Repeat (2 double crochets, chain 1) until you reach the increase section.

Increase: (2 double crochets, chain 1, 2 double crochets) in the chain 1 space of the previous increase.

Continue until the desired size.

Completing the Pentagons

For a small size, complete six rounds.

Ensure each pentagon is ¼ of the bust measurement for better customization.

Working the Front Pentagons & Straps

After completing the last round, increase by chaining 3.

Skip one double crochet, and double crochet in the next.

Repeat the increase and double crochet to make straps of desired length.

Assembling the Vest

Lay out the three pentagons for the back, with one point down and two points up.

Follow a seaming pattern such as the mattress seam or the flat slip stitch.

Align the front pentagons with straps and seam the sides.

Final Steps

Attach yarn to the corner of the strap and single crochet down the strap.

Chain the required length for the straps (e.g., 41 for small).

Slip stitch back down the chain.

Single crochet around the entire vest and attach straps.
