And remember: it's as important to follow the pattern to the letter as it is to enjoy every step of the process. The secret is in patience!

Beginning

Round 1: Chain 4 and join the last stitch to the first with a sl st, forming a circle where we will begin to work.

Round 2: Chain 5 (counts as 1 dc + 2 ch) and make 3 double crochets (dc) in the center of the circle formed by the chains. Continue 2 ch + 3 dc + 2 ch + 3 dc + 2 ch + 2 dc. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the 3rd ch from the beginning.

Round 3: Chain 5 (which would substitute for 1 dc + two chains) and crochet 3 dc in the same space. In the next corner, we will crochet 3 dc + 2 ch + 3 dc. Repeat the same pattern until you reach the last corner where we will crochet 2 dc and join to the 3rd ch from the beginning with a slip stitch.

Round 4: Start with 5 ch (which would substitute for 1 dc + two chains) + 3 dc in the same space. Between the spaces formed by the groups of 3 dc from the previous row, we will crochet 3 dc. Upon reaching the corner, we will crochet 3 dc + 2 ch + 3 dc, except in the last space where we will only crochet 2 dc and join with a sl st to the 3rd ch from the beginning.

This same round is what we will repeat 2 more times. Remember to change colors to your liking in each round.

To crochet a larger granny, you just have to repeat round 4.

Garment Assembly

Shoulders

First, we will join the upper part, taking 4 squares and joining them by one of the sides, two by two.

Before closing the shoulder seams of your crochet granny vest, on that same side of the square, we will add 5 rounds of "granny" stitch starting from one of the corners and following the scheme below:

• 1st round: 3 ch + two dc and continue making 3 dc in each space until the next corner. 
• 2nd round: chain 3 and skip to the first space, where we will crochet 3 dc until we reach the corner where we will close with a dc.
• We will continue repeating round 1 and round 2 successively until completing 5 rows. We will do this for all 4 squares that will form the shoulders. We will join them two by two with the crochet hook, facing the pieces and making single crochets until they are joined. Repeat this with the other two squares.

 

Back

Join the back pieces with sc, facing the pieces. Before that, we must add 2 rows of "granny" stitch to the sides that go in the center of the back. You now have the upper part of your crochet granny vest!

Next, we will join the grannies of the lower part and attach them to the upper part, but first, we will crochet two final granny stitches on both pieces.

All that remains is to crochet all around the edge, starting from the front right corner until reaching the other front corner, one row of granny stitch.

Armhole edging

We will make two rounds of granny stitch.

Tie cord

At waist level, where the upper and lower parts join, insert the hook and make a chain of 30 stitches, then return by slip stitching into the back bumps of the chain until you reach the edge of the vest again, where you will make a single crochet to close the cord you've made.

Enjoy your granny vest!

Done, now you can proudly wear your crochet granny vest! Easy, right?
