Instructions

Make 66 (86) chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and work with the main pattern. In 7 cm = 4 rows from the set-up row, make 1 x 50 (60) chain stitches from both sides for the front and continue work on all 166 (206) stitches. Continue work according to the pattern on newly created chain stitches, making groups of treble crochets and single crochets in the 1^st row according to the 1^st row of the scheme. For arm-holes, in 40 cm = 22 rows from the set-up row of the back or in 33 cm = 18 rows from the set-up row, divide your work into front (= the first and last 50 (60) stitches) and back (= central 66 (86) stitches), working for 22 cm = 12 rows (29 cm = 16 rows) on all details. Then, for the collar, continue work on all 166 (206) stitches as one-piece fabric. In 76 cm = 42 rows (83 cm = 46 rows) from the set-up row of back or in 69 cm = 38 rows (76 cm = 42 rows) from the set-up row of front, finish your work.

Assembly

Fasten your vest with 1 circle row of single crochets and 1 circle row of “crab stitch”.
