Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Create the Flower Squares

Part 1: Flower Center

Use your chosen center flower color (e.g., Duck Blue) and start with a magic ring.
CH 4 (counts as a DC).
Save
Work 15 DC into the ring (including the CH 4). You should have 16 DC in total.
SL ST into the top of the starting CH 4 to close the round.
Fasten off the center color and cut the yarn.

Part 2: Flower Petals

Join the Golden Yellow yarn to any stitch in the round.
CH 4 (counts as the first TR).
In the same stitch, work:
- 2 TR, pull through all loops on the hook (creates a petal cluster).
  Save
CH 3, skip the next stitch, and in the following stitch, repeat the petal cluster (3 TR, pull through all loops on the hook).
Continue around the circle, creating a petal in every other stitch for a total of 8 petals.
SL ST into the first CH 4. Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Save

Part 3: Square Background

Join the Terracotta yarn in any CH-3 space.
Work the first corner:
- CH 4 (counts as TR), 2 TR, CH 3, 3 TR in the same space.
Work 3 DC into the next CH-3 space, and then move to the next petal with another 3 DC.
In the next CH-3 space, work 3 TR, CH 3, 3 TR (this is a corner). Continue this pattern:
- 3 DC in each non-corner CH-3 space, and corners with 3 TR, CH 3, 3 TR.
  Save
Complete the round by slip stitching to the top of the first CH 4.

Part 4: Second Background Row

CH 3 (counts as DC). Work 1 DC in each stitch along the edge.
In each corner CH-3 space, work:
- 2 DC, CH 3, 2 DC.
Continue the DC stitches across all edges, and repeat the corner instructions for each corner.
Slip stitch to the top of the starting CH 3 and fasten off.
Save

Note: Make 5 squares total for a vest (you can adjust the number of squares for a customized fit).

Step 2: Assemble the Squares

Layout

Arrange the 5 squares as follows:
- One square will form the back, two squares will form the front left and right, and the remaining two squares will form the shoulders/armhole sections.

Joining the Squares

Place the squares wrong sides together (so the front sides face outward).
Using a yarn needle or crochet hook, join the squares along their edges with single crochet (SC) for a visible seam or slip stitch for an invisible seam.
- Example: For one SC join, insert the hook into both layers, yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook.
  Save
Join:
- Two squares vertically for the back.
- Two squares for the front (one for each side).
- Seam the shoulders by joining the top edges of the back square to the top edges of each front square.

Step 3: Add Armholes

Attach your yarn to the stitch at the base of the armhole opening.
Work HDC stitches evenly around the armhole (approximately 3 HDC per side stitch).
For a neat finish, work a second round of single crochet around the armhole.
Repeat for the other armhole.
Save

Step 4: Edging for the Vest

Attach your yarn at any edge of the vest.
Work SC stitches evenly around the outer edge of the vest, including the neckline, bottom edge, and armhole bridges.
For corners, add 2 SC, CH 1, 2 SC in each corner stitch to keep the work flat.

Finishing Touches

Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle for a polished look.
Gently block the vest to set stitches and straighten out the flower squares.

Conclusion

Congratulations on completing your crochet vest with flower squares! This project combines decorative and functional elements, making it both visually stunning and perfect for casual wear. The floral motif adds elegance, while the vest design offers versatility.

Pattern Corrections

Ensure proper alignment when joining the squares; use stitch markers for guidance along corners and edges.
Always check that your stitch counts match at the end of each row for symmetrical results.

Tips for Success

Secure the magic ring tightly to avoid gaps in the flower center.
Choose individually contrasting colors for the flower, petals, and background to make the design pop.
Block the squares before assembly for uniformity and easier joining.
Customize sizing by adding more squares or using a larger hook and heavier yarn.
Weave in ends as you complete each step to avoid tangling and make finishing easier.
