Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Magic Ring

Start by making a magic ring. This will be the center of your first 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.

2. Round 1

Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 15 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. You should have a total of 16 double crochets in the ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your chain-3.

3. Round 2

Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each of the next 15 double crochets around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your chain-3. You should have 32 double crochets at the end of this round.

4. Round 3

Chain 3, then in the next stitch, work (1 dc, chain 1, 1 dc) to create a corner. Now, work 1 double crochet in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from the beginning around the square, ensuring you end with a slip stitch to the top of your chain-3.

5. Fasten Off

Once you have completed Round 3, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

6. Make Additional Squares

Repeat the above steps to create a total of 16 granny squares: 8 squares for the front of the vest and 8 squares for the back.

7. Join the Squares

To create two panels, join the squares together using either a slip stitch or a whip stitch. Make sure the squares are aligned properly to maintain a uniform look.

8. Sew Shoulder Seams

Once your panels are complete, sew the shoulder seams together. Leave enough space for armholes, typically about 6-8 inches, depending on your size preference.

9. Add a Border

To finish off your vest, attach your yarn to any edge of the vest. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire vest. Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.

10. Final Touches

Fasten off your yarn and weave in any remaining ends. Your beautiful Boho Chic Crochet Granny Square Vest is now complete!

Enjoy wearing your handmade creation or gift it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
