2022: Since I’ve been retired from pattern making for a while now and this pattern is old, I decided to make it free.

This vest is crocheted from the center back in the round and then worked in rows. The hood is seamed. It takes about 10-15 hours to make. PDF has 8 pages.

You will need:

♥ I/5.5mm hook
♥ DK/light worsted weight yarn. Shown in Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable (100% acrylic, 270 yds/3.5oz) color Candied, 2 skeins.

Size: Small/Medium
Bust: 30”-36”/76-91cm
Vest Length: 18”-19”/45.7-48cm
Hood Height: 15”/38cm

Results will vary depending on your tension and your yarn & hook choice.

Intermediate: Ch, sc, dc, tr, dc cluster, spike sc, increasing, decreasing, sl st. Written instructions for magic ring, cluster stitches, and spike stitch. Includes some photos for working on the hood.

Thanks to my testers! <3
