Many thanks to kayemgee for making the instructions clearer!

For each section, after the pattern instructions for each row, I would find it clearer if the repeats were set out for each size and row counts given.

Left front:
Both sizes work from rows 1-8. Continue as follows:
Small size works 2 repeats of rows 9-24 (40 rows total)
Large size works 2 repeats of 9-24, then rows 9-16 (48 rows total)
When the pattern repeats are completed, cut yarn and leave a long tail to weave in.

Centre back:
Both sizes repeat rows 1 and 2 - 2 times (6 rows)
Small size repeat rows 7 and 8 - 16 times (38 rows total)
Large size repeat rows 7 and 8 - 20 times (46 rows total)

Right front:
Both sizes work from rows 1-6. Continue as follows:
Small size works 2 repeats of rows 7-22 (38 rows total)
Large size works 2 repeats of rows 7-22, then rows 7-14 (46 rows total)
When the pattern repeats are completed, cut yarn and leave a long tail to weave in.

Upper body section:
Small size works from rows 1-16 (16 rows total)
Large size works rows 9-16, then rows 1-8, then rows 9-16 (24 rows total)

Collar:
Both sizes work from rows 1-16, then rows 1-8 (24 rows total)

It is a one piece, bottom-up, fan-shaped vest; with border around the four sides. The vest on the left can fit from 36” to 40”. There is a bigger size which can fit from 42” to 46”.
Any colour will be great for it.

My gauge after blocking:
1” = 4 sts x 5.5 rows

Measurement lying flat:
Top edge 95” x 27” height
Armhole to armhole 19” / 22”
Length of armhole 8” / 9.5”
Side edge 23”
Top and bottom border 3.5”
Right and left border 5.5”
