You will need:
Yarn approximately 300 g / 630 m / 690 yds

Hook Size 5,5 mm (US I/9, UK 5)

Terminology:
st – stitch
sts – stitches
CH – chain stitch
DC – double crochet stitch (yarn over the hook once)
DC cluster – DC2together
V-cluster st = DC cluster + CH 1 + DC cluster in one space
SC – single crochet stitch
Instructions:
BACK
To begin make 61 chains for size M or any multiple of 3 + 1
If you want a different size you can make more or fewer chains.
Row 1: skip 4 chains, and make V-cluster sts in the fifth chain (DC cluster + CH 1 + DC cluster),
*skip 2 chains, V-cluster sts (DC cluster + CH 1 + DC cluster)
*repeat this pattern across the row
skip CH one and make DC one in the last chain
Row 2: CH 3 and turn your work. V-cluster sts in the chain space (in the center of the previous V-cluster sts),
*V-cluster sts in the chain space
*repeat this process in each chain space across the row
DC in the last stitch
Row 2 = Pattern
Continue repeating Row 2.
I made 28 rows (50 cm / 19.5 in)
If you want, you can make more rows to make the vest longer.
FRONT
The front is like the back except for the last four rows.
Mark 15 cm on one and the other side and put the markers.
Here we are going to make the shoulder parts.
Make 4 rows of the pattern.
Sew the shoulder pieces to the back with a needle and yarn.
Measure 24 cm / 9.5 in from the top of the shoulder and place a marker. This will be the armhole.
Sew the front and back of the vest under the armhole. Use a needle and yarn.
Make 1 row of single crochet stitches around the armhole.
You can do the same around the neck.
If you like it, make this beautiful vest for yourself or as a gift.
