Joining:

Lay your squares one on top of the other with the right sides facing each other. At the top edge of each corner, using a whipstitch sew 3 stitches in each corner. To attach the squares and make the neck opening. Sew up the sides using a whipstich from the bottom corners of your top, leaving your desired armhole depth.

Finishing

Weave in all ends, and block to size.

Note:

I gently hand washed and hung my vest to dry, letting gravity do the work to stretch and lengthen. If you would like to make the vest a bigger size, simply repeat round 6 and add 1 extra round at a time.
