Sage Serenity Vest
A Crochet Pattern For A Vest Made With Granny Squares And Textured Stitches
Step into effortless style and cozy charm with the SAGE SERENITY VEST, a beautifully drapey, open-front garment made entirely from classic granny squares. This pattern is a celebration of texture, color, and creativity, giving you full freedom to play with combinations and sizing while enjoying the comforting rhythm of crochet.
Written using US crochet terms, this pattern guides you through creating a modular, build-as-you-go vest that’s as customizable as it is beautiful. Whether you love the look of long flowing layers, cropped cuts, or dramatic sleeves, this pattern gives you the tools to make it truly your own.
The construction is simple yet satisfying: granny squares are joined together in a thoughtful layout that leaves the front of the vest open, creating a gentle drape and an easy, relaxed fit. You’ll find visual references inside the pattern to help you decide how you’d like your final piece to look—some versions are longer, others shorter; some have wide, airy sleeves, while others are slim and fitted. The possibilities are truly endless.
The pattern includes step-by-step guidance and illustrations for building a vest in size XS/S, using a total of 56 squares—24 for the back, 24 for the front, and 4 for each sleeve. In this version, the sleeves are long and gently hug the arms, contributing to the flowing silhouette. Each individual square measures 15 x 15 cm, and the finished garment in this size comes to approximately 60 cm wide by 93 cm long, with 33 cm long sleeves.
If you’d like to adjust the size of your vest, it’s easy to do so by adding more granny squares in a balanced way. To increase to sizes M/L, simply add two additional columns of squares to both the front and back, bringing the total to 8 extra squares. For XL/XXL and beyond, continue to add squares in pairs on each side to ensure your front opening remains centered. This flexibility in construction means you can truly tailor the vest to your desired fit and style.
As for colors—this is where your creativity can really shine. In the sample shown, three different color combinations are used to create depth and visual interest:
18 squares with Color 08 as C1 and Color 01 as C2
18 squares with Color 10 as C1 and Color 06 as C2
20 squares with Color 06 as C1 and Color 08 as C2
The squares are joined using Color 01, and arranged in a visually balanced way, avoiding repeating color combos on adjacent sides wherever possible. This approach keeps the design harmonious while still embracing a playful, free-spirited look.
The joining process is clearly explained, including how to leave just the right areas open for the neckline and front of the vest. You’ll be joining your squares horizontally and vertically, skipping the red-marked areas in the diagrams to create space for the collar and front opening. There are also helpful suggestions for how to handle your yarn tails and finishing touches like a neat border.
Whether you’re crafting a light layer for warm weather or adding a cozy piece to your cool-season wardrobe, the SAGE SERENITY VEST is a joy to make and even more delightful to wear. Its timeless shape, modular design, and open-ended possibilities make it a true staple for any handmade closet.
Inside the pattern, you’ll also find a printable version to make your project more convenient to follow as you crochet.
Let your creativity flow, stitch by stitch, and create something uniquely yours with the SAGE SERENITY VEST.
