The base of squares before the
wiggles are added may appear
way too small. The wiggles
stretch the squares so you must
add the wiggles to the base
before measuring the gauge. Do
not worka 4-inch swatch as this
is too time consuming, Make the
base and then add the wiggles
toone comer first. Now measure
the gauge. IFitis close to gauge,
proceed. A hot pad that isa little
larger or smaller is fine,

Pattern Notes
Weave in loose ends as work
progresses.
The crocheted fabric will be very
loose and stretchy. Once the
garment is finished, you may find
that the finished measurements
will be larger by 1 to 2inches. The
vest is supposed to be loose.
‘Two ways to start the vest are
given. Method 1 uses the founda-
tion chain as usual, Method 2 uses
the double crochet foundation
stitch, Choose whichever you like.
Vest is worked in 3 pieces: Back
Right Front and Left Front. The
Front pieces will be longer than.
