This sweater can also be made as a vest by leaving off the sleeves. You will also need 6 buttons. This pattern works up quickly, and is crocheted from top to bottom, using vertical rows.

There are free instructional videos for all of these stitches (right and left-handed versions) on the Bonnie Bay Crochet Youtube channel, as well as on the website at BonnieBayCrochet.com.
