This simple crochet circle vest is made of lightweight wool blend yarn. A type of no-brainer and relaxing crochet pattern. Still, the result is pretty nice with a whirlwind texture which gives it a trendy and sturdy look.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so choose your best technique 🙂
