One thought on “147 – DIY Easy Crochet Vest

  • You do not say what size this vest is. It is beautiful and just what I am looking for in style. Simple, yet elegant.

    If I want to increase the size to fit, do I have to increase by a certain number in order to maintain the pattern?

    Thanks so much for offering this pattern.
