As you can see, it is very springy here. We are spending as much time outside as possible theses days. I’m happy none of us are suffering from any allergies, and I’m so sorry for my brother and many others who do, and so can’t enjoy it, as there is soooo much beauty everywhere.
All this warm weather has got me thinking about the vest, I crocheted for myself six years ago while expecting my baby. I thought, you might find this pattern interesting for coming summer.
Circular vest pattern
Size: EU 38 – 42 (UK 10 – 14)
Cca 110cm ( 44” ) in diameter
Materials: 550g of any 100% cotton (120m on 50g)
Hook size H/5mm
Button, needle
Note: The material you can use is really up to you. It doesn’t need to be cotton as long as it is suitable for 5mm hook, it wouldn’t affect the size much.
Vest:
Ch 8, slst. to form the circle.
Follow the chart.
In rows 20 and 21 you should have 364 st.
In row 22 sc together equally 4times = 360 st., so the pattern works.
After 29th row we should have 510 st.
In row 30 we skip 48dcs for armholes from previous row (you can see it on the chart) and do 48ch instead. Follow by crocheting 79 sc’s and make another armhole same way as the first one and keep following the chart.
Finishing:
Sew the button on wrong side of the vest, cca 5cm from start of row 48. It’s marked on the top of the chart by a little arrow.
Don’t be scared. It only looks difficult, but when you’ll get into the pattern, you’ll find it easy.

ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI went to this pattern from the share a pattern site but can't seem to access the actual pattern.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a written pattern for this vest? I am not very good at reading visual patterns.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your time in reading my request.

Beautiful vest but the chart is too small to follow, any chance to have a written pattern?

I saved the image from the webpage (just right click and then select "save image") and then opened it up in my photo viewer (just double-click on the file once it's saved and it will open). In the photo viewer you can zoom in and out to see each row.
Deletesince there is no gauge, can you tell me how many inches from the center of the motif to the arm hole?
ReplyDeleteCca 21"-24"
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me what Cca means? and is 21" from the center of the motif to the armhole, or from armhole edge to armhole edge?
ReplyDeletewhat are sizes in American size not uk size thanks
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThe vest looks very nice. Is it alright for me to take the diagram and enlarge it? I am almost 70 yrs old and the diagram is a little small for these old eyes to read. Beautiful work.
Looking at the pattern, I think it should have been ccw, Counter Clock Wise. The W is just above the A on the keyboard. May have been a typo.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern.

I've gotten through row 31 but before I move onto row 32 can you tell me how many 3dc clusters I should have on row 31. Somehow I think I may have too many.
ReplyDeleteThe diagram pattern can be converted to a written pattern with a little time. I printed the diagram and wrote a pattern for the first 8 rounds. After that it was just easier to look at the diagram to finish my vest. A tip: every chain 3 at the beginning of each round counts as a double crochet. Round 2. If you don't use it as a dc your count will be way off towards the end. I am currently trying to finish the written pattern...
ReplyDeleteWhat size does it end up
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern but I haven't mastered working from a chart. Is there a chance of a written pattern please?
ReplyDeleteGood post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful pattern, but I'm reluctant to try it without knowing the gauge. It is just to vague. Can anyone give me a ballpark on the gauge?
ReplyDeleteI'm on Ravelry as DeRavel59
Could anyone tell me how to make this bigger, is it just a case of move the armholes and do more rounds ? I’d absolutely love to make it but I’m bigger than a 14
ReplyDeleteIncredible posting this is from you. I am really and truly thrilled to read this marvelous post. You’ve really impressed me today. I hope you’ll continue to do so!
