This is more of a recipe, rather than an exact pattern. Each square is 4” X 4”. You’ll have to calculate how many squares you need based on chest size.  You can add width by adding more squares, or by adding more rows of sc on the sides when joining the front and back.  My vest is made for a size 32-34” chest.  4 squares = 16”.  16” + 16” = 32” circumference.   5 squares = 20”   20” + 20” = 40” circumference etc.

Materials: Dk weight yarn in different colors for roses, green for color B, and black for color C, Size H/5mm crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge. Amounts depend on size, but I used approx. 200g of black, 150g of green.
