Airy Vest in Positively Crochet

I've had people tell me the Airy Vest in Positively Crochet seems to fit small, but as you can see in the photo it was purposely designed so that the front left & right do not come together all the way.

I'd say if you don't want your vest to be this open at the front, then you should probably make a size larger than what you want to make or you could always add to the vertical edge at front, by making 2 - 4 rows.

I was at the photo shoot and this model (above left) was a size small  (maybe 4 - 6) and it doesn't come together in the front,which is the way I meant it to be. My daughter, Jamie, at the right is a size extra small (size 1 - 2) and you can see how it comes together even more.

This vest was designed to be a very quick and easy garment! Actually it takes only about 2 hours to make! Can you believe that? This is a great project even for a beginner. A # 6, super bulky yarn was used as well as a huge size "Q" hook. This hook is the turquoise one you see in the stores and is used many times to make rag rugs and baskets.

The yarn I used was a Hobby Lobby yarn by Yarn Bee yarns, but you can find a similar yarn just about anywhere. Just look for Super Bulky # 6. Having a yarn with 3 different colors makes it nice to be able to change the ribbon color from brown to olive green or denim blue.
