Crochet Pentagon Vest Pattern

Materials Needed:

Crochet hook (size used in the video isn't mentioned, but it's recommended to match the hook size with your yarn)
Yarn
Magic ring technique

Pattern Instructions:

Pentagon Creation:

Start by making a magic ring.
Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet throughout the project).
Place 1 double crochet in the ring, chain 1.
Place 2 double crochets, chain 1. Repeat this from three more times inside the ring.
Pull your magic ring closed, slip stitch to the top of the chain 3.
Slip stitch in the next double crochet, and slip stitch in the first chain 1 space. This will give you a small pentagon shape with five groups of two double crochets.

Increasing Rounds:

Chain 3 then double crochet in the same chain 1 space, chain 1, and add 2 double crochets in the same chain 1 space.
Chain 1, and perform an "increase" which is defined as two double crochets, chain 1, and two double crochets all into the next chain space.
Repeat these increases in each of the chain 1 spaces around the pentagon.
Slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 to complete the round.

Repeating for Size:

Repeat the last round, continually increasing at each point of the pentagon until you reach the desired size for your vest.
For a size small, you'll need six rounds, with instructions provided in the pattern to customize for other sizes. Each pentagon should be at least one-quarter of your bust measurement.
Create three pentagons for the back arrangement, and two pentagons for the front.

Vest Assembly:

Assemble the back by putting one pentagon with a point facing down and two pentagons above it with points facing up.
Seam the pentagons together using a mattress stitch or flat slip stitch (increase hook size to prevent bunching).

Front Pentagons and Straps:

After the last round of the front pentagons is completed, extend one of the points to create straps.
Seam the front pentagons to the back pentagons at the shoulders.

Final Edging and Straps:

Single crochet around the entire vest.
When reaching the front points, create a chain and go down that chain for the straps.
Finish the single crochet edging around the vest.
