Ultimate Stash Bust Vest

This pattern dynamically calculates the rows and stitches based on your inputs into the PDF. In order for the pattern to work correctly, you will need to open the pattern in **Chrome** when on your computer, and **Adobe Reader** (free app!) when on your phone. Say hello to the Ultimate Stash Bust Vest! This is the perfect addition to the Ultimate Stash Bust collection, designed to help you use up all that leftover yarn while making something completely unique to you. Like the cardigan and sweater, this vest is a Mae to Measure pattern, allowing you to customize it to your exact body measurements and desired length. With 2” (5 cm) of ease in the body and armhole depth, this vest has a relaxed yet polished fit—not too oversized, not too snug—just right! You can use any weight of yarn in any color sequence you like, whether you prefer a structured stripe pattern or complete chaos (in the best way). Worried about color combos? Don’t be! Every version I’ve seen looks amazing, and in the pattern, I share my own color strategy along with inspiration from testers’ stunning creations. So grab your stash and get ready to make something truly one-of-a-kind! MAE TO MEASURE [Read more here!](https://www.maecrochets.com/mae-to-measure-common-questions) A Mae to Measure pattern is an interactive, PDF pattern that calculates the number of stitches, rows, and yardage for a pattern. The benefit of a Mae to Measure pattern is that it makes your pattern size inclusive to virtually any body size (theoretically, it should even work for an infant!) This is done by allowing the user to type in their body’s measurements onto your pattern. Then, in the background, the pattern will calculate all the math within the pattern to fit the person perfectly. SIZES Virtually any size! Since it calculates your measurements using your body’s measurements, this pattern will work for everyone. EASE This pattern has a built-in ease of +2”/5 cm on the body and +2”/5 cm on the arm hole depth. DIFFICULTY Advanced Beginner MATERIALS • 5.5mm Crochet Hook • Or 0.5mm larger than your yarn suggests using. I recommend going larger than you think so your vest has a better drape! • 5mm Crochet Hook • Or the size your yarn suggests using. • I used weight 4 yarn, but you can use whatever weight you’d like. Just be sure all the yarn you’re using is the same weight. • Yardage is calculated in the pattern. You can see an estimated amount below. • As many colors as you’d like!
