Crochet Checkerboard Sweater Vest

MATERIALS Medium Weight (4) Yarn – Lion Brand Skein Tones in “Almond” and “Cocoa” . Number of skeins needed: S/M – 4 (2 of each color) skeins L/XL – 6 (3 of each color) skeins 2XL/3XL – 7 (3 of one color, 4 of the color used for vest AND ribbing) skeins *Approximately 307 grams of yarn were used for the size S/M. For the light weight version, I used 4 skeins of Drops Alpaca Silk in the shades “Sage Green” and “Off White” for a size S/M 4.5mm Crochet Hook (my FAVORITE crochet hooks) Darning Needle Scissors Stitch Markers (I personally don’t use a stitch marker for this pattern, but if you easily lose track of where you started or are a beginner, stitch markers are very helpful.)
