NOTES
1. Vest is worked top down from a shoulder foundation. Back is worked off foundation to underarm, then two fronts are worked to underarm. Fronts are joined to back at underarm and then the body of vest is worked in rows to hip length, 2 points are worked with decreases off the bottom of fronts. Finished fabric is very stretchy.
2. Instructions are written for size S with changes for M/L and XL/2X given in brackets or noted in separate lines. Left and Right directions are written assuming crocheter is working with hook in right hand with stitches moving from right to left.
