GAUGE: 16 sts and 16 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in sc. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. STITCH EXPLANATION: rev sc (reverse single crochet) Single crochet worked from left to right (right to left, if left-handed). Insert hook into next stitch to the right (left), under loop on hook, and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.

NOTES: 1. Vest is worked in one piece from center of circle out to sides. Directions are provided for how to make the Vest larger. Note that the Vest is a circle, so as you increase the width, the length will also increase. 2. All rounds are worked in continuous rounds with RS always facing, and not joined at the end of each round. 3. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops to complete st. Fasten off old color. 4. When you see '- 12 sts' in the instructions, this lets you know how many sts you will have at the end of that specific row.
