Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create the Magic Ring
Start by making a magic ring. This will serve as the center of your granny square. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring with your hook.
Step 2: Round 1
Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Then, work 15 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To finish this round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your initial chain-3. You should have a total of 16 double crochets in this round.
Step 3: Round 2
Chain 3 again, and work a double crochet in the same stitch as your chain. Now, place 2 double crochets in each stitch around the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your chain-3. You will have 32 double crochets at the end of this round.
Step 4: Round 3
Chain 3 and work a double crochet in the same stitch. Then, follow this pattern: *1 double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch* and repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your chain-3. You should have a total of 48 double crochets at the end of this round.
Step 5: Make the Granny Squares
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to create a total of 8 granny squares. Each square should measure approximately 6 inches across. Once completed, you will be ready to join them together.
Step 6: Join the Squares
Arrange your 8 squares in two rows of four. Use single crochet (sc) or your preferred joining method to connect the squares together. Make sure to keep the squares aligned neatly to form the vest shape.
Step 7: Add Edging
To finish your vest, work single crochet evenly around the entire vest opening and the armholes. This will give your vest a polished look and help to stabilize the edges.
Step 8: Weave in Ends
Finally, take the time to weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will ensure your vest looks neat and professional.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own Chunky Crochet Granny Square Vest. Enjoy wearing your beautiful handmade garment!
