Tension should be loose for a draped feel to the fabric, it your tension is tight when you crochet, please go up a hook size for a more loose feel.

This pattern uses YOUR OWN measurements to obtain stitches.
Please measure and check gauge for correct fit. This pattern is sized Med/Large. You can readjust this to your own size by doing simple math to add or subtract the number of stitches needed to get your size. Use my pattern as a guide or example of how to obtain your own size.

PATTERN NOTES:

Take Measurements-

The Back: Measure your back from under the arm to the other arm. This will be your width foundation row for the number of stitches to chain to start your vest. Then Measure from the top of your neck to where you want the vest to end on your waist. This will be your length in the number of rows for the vest.
