Materials You'll Need

5 skeins of multicolored yarn

Crochet hook (size I)

Scissors

Tapestry needle

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Chain and Foundation Row

Start by chaining 96 stitches with your first color of yarn. Join the last chain with the first chain to form a circle. Next, work the foundation row by single crocheting into the second chain from the hook and each chain across. Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join the round. This will create a circle of single crochets.

Step 2: Work the V-Pattern

To create the V-pattern, you'll alternate between double crochets and half double crochets. First, chain 3, then skip the next stitch and double crochet into the following stitch. Chain 1, skip a stitch, and half double crochet into the next stitch. Chain 1 and repeat this pattern all the way around the circle, joining with a slip stitch at the end.

Step 3: Change Colors

Once you've completed a full round of the V-pattern, it's time to change colors. Cut the yarn and tie the new color onto the last stitch of the previous round. Chain 1, then single crochet in the space between the double crochet and half double crochet of the previous round. Chain 1 again, then continue with the V-pattern, alternating between double crochets and half double crochets until you reach the end of the round. Repeat this process, changing colors every round, until the vest reaches your desired length.

Step 4: Add Armholes

To create armholes, stop working in the round and instead work back and forth in rows. Start by crocheting 20 stitches for the armhole, then skip 10 stitches and crochet the remaining 46 stitches. Turn your work and continue crocheting back and forth until the armhole reaches your desired length. Repeat this process on the other side of the vest to create the second armhole.

Step 5: Finish the Vest

Once you've completed both armholes, finish off the vest by weaving in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. Try on your vest and make any necessary adjustments, such as adding or removing rows to achieve the perfect fit. And that's it! You've successfully crocheted a beautiful multicolored V-pattern vest that is sure to impress. Wear it with pride and enjoy the compliments you'll receive on your handiwork.
