Neck Tab Button Vest

Lion Brand® Nature's Choice Organic® Cotton

GAUGE:

12 sc + 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Very quick and easy! Reviewed by Theodora Michaels on 2010-05-01 *****
I made an adorable little vest with this pattern. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy it was, and how well it fits. I crochet on the train to and from work (less than an hour each way), and I made the whole thing in less than a week of commutes. I made the body as written, but for the trim, I didn't follow the directions, I just went around and around (with a sc, ch, sc at each corner) as I wasn't crazy about the button tab. Looks fine and I am thinking about making another in different colors.
