You may make and sell products from my pattern; however please also link back to my pattern either here or on Ravelry. Thank you very much.
To make this item, you should be familiar with basic crochet stitches and techniques. I have done my best to write the directions so that they are easy to read and follow. The pattern is written in standard American/U.S. terms.
The Sunflower Circle Vest is an intermediate-level crochet bolero designed by Early Dawn Crafts as a downloadable PDF pattern. This versatile garment features a circular construction technique that creates a stunning sunflower-inspired design, making it an elegant layering piece suitable for various occasions.
This pattern creates a fitted crochet vest with a circular motif design. The vest is available in three size options: S/M (27 inches from neck to hem with a maximum bust measurement of 38 inches), L/XL (33 inches from neck to hem with a maximum bust measurement of 45 inches), and 2X/3X (38 inches from neck to hem with a maximum bust measurement of 50 inches). The circular construction technique allows for a flattering fit that works well as a layering garment over dresses, shirts, or sweaters.
The Sunflower Circle Vest employs several fundamental and intermediate crochet techniques to achieve its distinctive appearance. The pattern utilizes circular construction methods, which is a hallmark technique for creating motifs and garments that radiate from a central point. Front post double crochet stitches are incorporated to add textural depth and create dimensional effects within the design. The pattern also includes decrease techniques to shape the garment and ensure proper fit across different sizes.
This crochet pattern uses standard US crochet terminology and incorporates the following stitches:
The Sunflower Circle Vest is designed to be worked with Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn, a worsted and aran weight yarn available in 3.5 ounce (100 gram) skeins with 170 yards (156 meters) per skein. This yarn weight provides excellent stitch definition while maintaining a comfortable drape for a vest garment.
The pattern calls for five coordinating colors that create the sunflower motif: Mustard (the primary warm tone), Sage (a muted green), Chocolate (a rich brown), Dusty Blue, and Colonial Blue (two complementary blue shades). For sizes S/M and L/XL, one skein of each color is required. For the larger 2X/3X size, the yardage requirements increase to 1 skein each of Mustard and Chocolate, with 2 skeins each of Sage, Dusty Blue, and Colonial Blue to accommodate the extended length and width of the garment.
To complete this project, you will need a Size I (5.5mm) crochet hook, which is the appropriate hook size for working with worsted and aran weight yarn at the specified gauge. Additional supplies include stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends after completing the vest.
The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 double crochets by 7 rows measuring 4 inches in stockinette stitch. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring the vest fits properly across the bust and maintains the intended length from neck to hem. Crocheters should work a gauge swatch before beginning the project to verify their tension matches the pattern specifications.

Easy, works up quickly. My gardening daughter will love this!! I plan to add sleeves. Sleeves are NOT included in the pattern. I knew that when I got it. I will fiddle around with several other sleeve pattern and piece something together.
