Joining the granny squares
Join the granny squares with your favorite technique of choice: using your hook and working a r of sl st or seaming them with a tapestry needle.
Once you’ve joined all the granny squares, work a r of hdc around the entire piece. On corners A, B, C, D, E and F, ch2 to add shape. On corners G and F which correspond to the neck, work a decrease by sc2 together. Work a sc2 together decrease at each join between 2 granny squares.
Then, sew or sl st32 along the sides of the vest to join corners B and C, E and D. Leave an opening for the armholes for your arms to go through.
Hem and fringe
For the armholes and the front of the vest: *ch3 up, *ps1 in next st, ch1, sk2, sc1 into next st*, rep ** to end of r.
For the hem:
- R1: ch2, hdc1 into each st to end of r. Turn.

- R3: ch3, sk1, dc1 into next st, ch1, dc1 into skipped st. (Crossed dc). Turn.
