Always work the number of inches given. Begin at bottom of back with a chain
14.5 inches long and make 47 rows (or 6.5 inches) in s.c. taking up both threads
of stitch and always turning at end of each row with 1 ch.
On next row widen by putting 2 s.c. in 2d and next to last st. of row.
Make two rows without widening. Widen on 2d and next to last st. of next row.
The rest of the work (or 70 rows) is straight work without widening.
The entire back should now measure 17 inches from bottom.
Without breaking yarn continue work over shoulder on one-third of the stitches
across back for 10 rows, then increase 1 st. every 5th row at neck until work
measures 5.5 inches across, then increase in same way on both sides of work
until it measures 8.5 inches across for this fathers day craft ideas project.
On next row on under-arm side, ch. 12 and work back over chain and the rest
of work until front edge is reached, then ch. 10 and work back and forth on
this ch. 10 and the rest of the work for 5.5 inches (or 39 rows).
Counting 18 sts. From under-arm side, make opening for pocket by chaining 22,
miss 22 sts. And continue work on rest of stitches to end of row.
On working back on next row make 1 s.c. in each of the 22 ch. Sts.
Continue working for 2 ¼ inches more (or 18 rows), then decrease at
bottom of front of vest as follows:-
* Leave off 3 sts. On reaching under-arm side of this fathers day craft ideas pattern, turn without chaining 1 and
make 1 s.c. in the second st. On reaching front edge take up a loopo in each
