Granny Square vests are far from a new creation. There have been so many iterations of this popular use of the ever-present granny square for decades. Here is my take on a simple no-sew granny vest with a little added whimsy.

Notes:
• Petal vest a seamless granny square vest with a single crochet neckline and picot edging on the armholes and bottom.
• Side and strap lengths are adjustable. Note that adding length will require more yarn.
• Sample uses color D for all trim, but you can use any color you like. Note that using a different color for trim will require more yarn in that color.
