Granny Square Pattern:
Starting the Granny Square:

- Make 3 more double crochets into the ring (to form the second side).
- Chain 2.
- Repeat the 3 double crochets and 2 chains once more for the third side.
- To complete the round, make 2 double crochets in the ring and join with a slip stitch to the third chain of the starting chain-4.
Round 2:
- Choose a new color, attach it to any corner chain space.
- Chain 4 (first double crochet and chain 1).
- Work 3 double crochets in the same corner space.
- In the next corner space, without chaining, make 3 double crochets.

- Join to the beginning of the round with a slip stitch.
For Round 3:

- Chain 4 (counts as a double crochet and chain 1).
- Work 3 double crochets, chain 2, and 3 double crochets into the ring to create your first corner.
- Chain 4 and join back to the center with a slip stitch.
- Continue building on this triangle by working into the spaces created, following the same principles as the traditional granny square, but only working two sides each round to maintain the triangle shape.
Finishing the Vest:
