![]() I changed colors every 2 rows, but you can change colors whenever you like, every 3 rows, 4 rows or no rows! Whatever floats your boat.

These are just size guidelines, but you can simply make it the size you need to for YOU and I will show you how here in this pattern and the Video Tutorial on my YouTube channel.)

Yarn needed: I used approximately 178 grams of scrap yarn to make this vest in a size S, but I am unsure how much yarn would be needed for other sizes. Stitch Markers – (I personally don’t use a stitch marker for this pattern, but if you lose track of where you started easily or you’re a beginner, stitch markers are very helpful.) Some of the yarn I worked with linked here is a recent fave of mine, it’s very soft, anti-pilling and easy to work with. Medium Weight (4) Yarn – ANY brand will do! I mixed different brands together of left over yarn I had laying around because I wanted to be a bit more conscious with this project. ![]() SO, without further ado, let’s get started! I made one vest from the left over yarn from my “Grateful + Thankful Cardi” and the other one from some of the left over yarn from my “Fall Picnic” Tote Bag This is a great scrap/left over yarn project. So if you’re looking for a way to spice up an outfit fast, this vest can do just that! (I will be wearing mine for Thanksgiving.) This pattern also works up fairly quickly. I have seen the style for these vest several times through out my crochet journey and have always wanted to make one, so a few nights ago I thought I would just see how hard it might be just coming up with it myself and let me tell you…it was SO SIMPLE and enjoyable to figure out and crochet (I’m obsessed with granny squares right now, and it’s kinda all I want to create lately □). I haven’t seen many patterns or video tutorials out there for it so I thought I’d make one myself! It’s by no means a very original pattern and it’s a style that dates back to the 70’s. Today I will be sharing a very easy, fun and quick crochet pattern and thats the “70’s Granny Square Vest”!
