I was making a crochet vest without following any pattern but didn't know how to do the v neck ribbing.. Your video was so helpfull thank you so much !
I made this and it looks really nice! I wear it all the time. Made mine with a thinner yarn so it took some time, but it was worth it. Thanks for the pattern!
oooo cant wait to make this :) i was looking for a crochet vest pattern I can easily do duplicate stitch/surface crochet on top of and this looks perfect, thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial. I really love the vest :) I've got one question though: I'm using a 4,5mm yarn and needle. How long (in cm) should the very first row of slip knots be (where you are chaining up 24)? I definitely have to chain up more than 24, using a smaller needle. I just can't figure out how many haha
Thanks so much! The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5”. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough I’m sure it will work! Please let me know if you have any other questions 🥰🥰
Hi, so I have some difficulty counting the rows - the pattern become like knitted rib, so does every rib count as one or two rows? Really difficult for me to figure out with slipstiching 🙈😅
Ah yes the slip stitch ribs are hard to count! But every rib counts as 2 rows 😊 so each raised part of the rib is one row and each gap of the rib is another row. I normally find it easiest to count by 2’s, either count all the raised or all the gaps Hopefully this helps!! 🥰
@@StephanieTashi perfect, that's what I figured when I tried to start over on another piece and count on a paper at the same time 👌 thank you! Also, cannot recommend mohair yarn for this vest, as it entangles and gets impossible to reuse if you make a mistake and need to pull out a row or two... Just if anyone is wondering 🥲
Hi! For an XL it would be around 620grams of yarn if you are using a similar yarn thickness/composition to me and the same size hook 😊 I hope that helps! 🥰
Hi, i want to ask you if the front and the back panel would be of same width because which i have made is the front pannel is little more wider than the back pannel
I don't know why, but when working on the front panel, the increases aren't as 'high' as on the decreasing side of the V-neck? I don't know what I'm doing wrong!
Oh no! But you’re not necessarily doing anything wrong 😊 I think the first thing to rule out is that you haven’t missed any stitches. I found the increases very difficult to see sometimes and had to go back. You can count the stitches in the rows just to make sure you haven’t missed any. Each row should go up by one stitch (each raised and divot row) or it’s probably easier to count every two rows and make sure it’s gone up two stitches (the raised rows). If that’s not the problem then it’s probably all fine! Mine did look warped when I made it and it kind of looked a little curved almost. But when the panels are joined and the trim is added it all flattened out 😊 please let me know if you have any issues! 🥰🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi I'm not sure, I got so frustrated because on one it was like 80 degrees on the increse and the other side maybe 30 degrees? I actually, though maybe this is silly, decided to approach it by crocheting the whole other side separately, and then attaching them in the middle :'D And when increasing, you do two single crochets in the last stitch when going up, then chain one, and then do two single crochets in the first stitch going down again, right? or did I get that wrong? I hope this approach I'm doing works out, and maybe if I make another vest (which is likely, if it fits me :D ) I will try again with the normal way. thank you so much, that's so nice of you 🥰
@@elliyo4286 that’s so annoying! But I get that! I much prefer doing decreases and would choose that when I can for sure. I have a vest similar to this with different colours on each side so I did pretty much what you described 😊 And yes that’s correct for the increases, I did two single crochets into the last stitch going up, chain 1 and turn and two single crochets straight away after. It can be really hard to see that last increase from the previous row sometimes - I had to go back a couple times cause I missed one here and there. Hopefully it works out better this way! Let me know if you have any more trouble 😊
I started like 4 times, and then I came back to the original one and everything worked out fine :D I just finished it, and it looks great, except that for some reason I made it super cropped. Like, bralette length xD But I'll definitely use this pattern again, just gonna make it longer next time :D @@StephanieTashi
Hello and thank you for this beautiful pattern! I have made summer tops with cotton yarn in the past but this is my first winter garment and i am wondering about the type of yarn. Wool or acrylic or something blended? Thanks for the suggestions! 🙏
I’m so glad you like it!! You could use acrylic, wool or a wool blend - they would all work well. The yarn I used is 52% Merino and 48% Acrylic and I’ve also made this vest in 100% acrylic so it will just depend on what you prefer/budget. I hope this helps 🥰🥰
Hi! Thanks so much 🥰 I made a size small as well so it would be about the same as me - I used just about 450 grams of medium weight yarn and that was about 560 meters 😊 I hope that helps!
Thank you! 🥰🥰 it will depend a bit on the size and composition of the yarn you use so I can’t say for certain but I think it would be about 550grams /700 metres if it’s similar to mine 😊 I used balls that were 100grams and 125 meters each if that helps!
Hey! Wonderful pattern 💗 I have a question, would it be okay to use a 5mm hook with weight 4 yarn throughout? Will it take more time? Will the stitches look different? I just started crocheting 6 months ago so i don't really know....
Thanks so much!! And yes it would definitely work to use a 5 mm hook weight 4 yarn but it would make the vest a bit smaller if you use the stitch counts for your usual size. So you could either follow the centimetre and inch measurements instead of the stitch count, or if you would prefer to follow the stitch counts, you could make one of the bigger sizes - you could start off by making the first row with the centimetre and inch measurements and then compare that to the number of stitches in the other sizes and that might give you an idea of which size to follow. The stitches won’t look any different but they will be a little bit smaller both in height and width, but other than that it shouldn’t be any different. It may take a little bit longer because you would be doing more stitches and rows, but I don’t think it would be significantly longer because the hooks not that much smaller - though that also depends on how tight you pull the yarn. Welcome to the crochet family! If decide to give it a go and have any questions along the way, please let me know 🥰🥰🥰
Hello!!I love this tutorial and it’s really easy to follow.However I’m not sure if I like how the slip stitches look.Would it make a difference if I did single crochet??
Thanks so much 🥰 I definitely think you could do it with single crochets! But you will need to do less rows. I think it would work if you followed the cm/inch measurements instead of the row counts. You may also need to do a couple less foundation chains for the bottom and chains for the underarm to shoulder portion but that also depends on how long you want it to be 😊
Thanks for the great pattern, I'm making it as a gift for someone right now! I noticed that after making the front panel, you fastened off and started the back panel separately. Would it be possible to continue the back panel without fastening off (going straight into the next row of back loop slip stitches)? Thanks!
I definitely think that would work to continue the front panel into the back panel 😊 you’ll have have to make sure that after you’ve done the first underarm section of the back panel that you end up at the correct end of the vest! If it the wrong end you could just add an extra row to get to the other side. The slip stitch rows are very narrow so one extra row won’t throw it off 😊 thanks so much!
Thanks so much! I couldn't say exactly the number of stitches and rows for weight 3 yarn as I haven't made a version of the vest with that weight but I think it would work if you use the cm/inch measurements in the video rather than the row and stitch counts. I think the only measurements I didn't include in the video are the foundation chain and the chain going from the underarm to the top of the shoulder - but if you come across another measurement you need please let me know! The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5” due to the slip stitches pulling it tighter. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine! The measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two. You will probably have to do a fair few more stitches and rows to what I did in each section! The other option to calculate how many rows and stitches you need would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows - you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but you're having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.
Ooh good idea! I think maybe 8 rows with the decreases would be about right! I just tried mine on backwards and with the 4 decreases and it looked sort of like a mock turtle neck. So it probably depends how low of a crew neck you want - I’d guess that 8 decrease rows would bring it to the bottom of your neck and if you’d rather be a bit lower than that then maybe a couple of extra rows 😊
Heeey, I'm working with a smaller yarn, in the part where yo have to chain 31, what's the measure?? (In cm) So I can fit it with the counts. I would like to know pleaaase, I love how you explain the pattern❤✨
Hey! Thanks so much 😊 I’m glad you like it!! The measurement for the 31 chains section is 20cm but I measured that after I’d done the next row - for me the chain row is normally a bit bigger because the slip stitches pull it tighter. I normally add about 15% so I think about 23cm for the chain and that should be around 20cm after the first row or two. If your stitches aren’t making the chain shorter though you could stick with the 20cm 😊 let me know if you need any other measurements or anything 🥰🥰🥰
I'm currently making you pattern and its very helpfull, but I have a question. Is it a problem if the bottom of the vest isn't straight? I haven't done the trim yet, it's just the bottom of the vest. I would appriciet it if you'd answear.🥰
Hi Anna! Oh no! Sometimes the slip stitches will pull panels a little out of line because they are quite tight. Is it kind of a diagonal line at the bottom or more of a wavy line? I’d say as long as the stitch count is the same on both sides of the panel (or very close to the same) then stitching it together and adding the trim might even it out. If the stitch count isn’t even then I’m not really sure but I find that sewing on the trim does usually even out little bumps! Hopefully that helps a bit but let me know if you need any more info 🥰🥰🥰
Is the back panel supposed to be smaller than the front panel? for a small the front had 34+34+ 2 rows = 70 rows between the shoulder chunks. The back had 4+4 increase/decrease + 54 middle rows = 62 rows, so there's an 8 row difference between the front and back if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Angel! Yep that’s right 😊 I made the front panel a little bigger to leave a bit of extra room for the bust. You could definitely make both panels the same by adding 8 rows to the straight section at the back if you prefer 😊
@Stephanie Tashi thank you for the clarification! 😊 I panicked a little when my panels didn't line up and wasn't sure if that was by design or not haha
Hey @pearlyriver! You can just add more stitches to the foundation chain to make it longer! I did 24 stitches in my foundation chain so if you wanted it you could just add more chains. You could measure from under your arm pit to where you want the vest to finish but make sure you leave room for both the ribbing around the arm and around the bottom if you want to include that :) I'd add about 4cm/1 inch for the arm ribbing and 8cm/2 inches for the waist ribbing - but those can also be adjusted for length if you want! Hopefully this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions
Hey 😊 How wide in cm is your finished crocheted sweater? I changed the rows a bit because the first one I crocheted was a much too big. Thank you Franca 😊
Thank you, How do I do the decreases for the neckline on my front piece if I have different measurements to you? Do I just take half of my center piece? I have 18 cm for the back. I would then take the decreases for the front piece until I am at about 9 cm and then take the same number of increases. Then it should actually be centered. Is that correct?
@@francadosch1607 yes that should work! my front panel had a couple of extra rows over the back panel to give a bit of extra room for the bust but it would also be fine to do them approximately the same width so don’t stress if you can’t get exactly 9cm 😊
Help! I really want to make this! What is considered medium weight yarn? I live in NZ… is medium weight DK?? Or is this made of Worsted weight? I’m a bit confused
Hi! 😊 the yarn I used is a wool blend (52% merino and 48% acrylic) though I think any yarn with a little give or stretch would work! Hopefully this helps 🥰
Hi! Yes the size of your yarn will effect the number of rows and stitches but the measurements will stay the same. So if you want to use a different size yarn you can do as many stitches or row as you need to do to reach the measurement for that section! Please let me know if you have any other questions 😊 I hope this helps!
Yeah I think it would work! There is no shaping as it stretchy so it will form to any body. The only thing is that it’s cropped so depending on their style, it might be good to make it a bit longer which would really just be lengthening the foundation chain for both of the panels and going from there. The sizing is also women’s so a men’s one would probably need to be a bigger size than what they would wear in men’s 😊 let me know if you need any extra measurements or anything!
When we start the front panel and I've done a medium size (12 rows) will I end up at the bottom of the vest? I've ended up at the top and I'm not sure if I'm right 😅
No worries! I didn’t count my foundation chain in the rows of that first section - sorry if that was confusing! So I ended up at the opposite end of where my tail started - is that where you ended? If not you could add an extra row but also because the slip stitches are much the same size as the chain, one less or more row shouldn’t make too much of a difference overall 😊 please let me know if that doesn’t make sense 🥰
Hi! Its hard to tell exactly but I would guess around 800-900grams - but that will also depend on the yarn you are using and how many meters it has per 100grams. The finished vest for a 2XL would be around 85cm wide and 52cm in length. But that also won’t be exact. Hopefully this helps!
Hi! Did you want the measurement from the shoulder to the bottom or just for the section under the arm pit starting with the chain 24? The measurement of the bottom of the vest 14 cm not including the ribbing. But for the full vest from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the ribbing its 48cm 😊
No problem! The sizing chart I use is in the description box and I also wanted to mention that the vest is very stretchy 😊my sister and I are different sizes normally but we both fit this vest so the sizing is flexible! I’m 166cm tall and I’m around about 55kg. I hope this helps 😊
Please tell me how many meters in one skein of yarn, how many skeins it took in total and please give me your measurements (chest and waist circumference). thanks in advance! and how do you join all the parts together? is this done with a hook or needle?
Hi! I used 4.5 skeins of yarn and each skein is 125 meters so I used about 563 meters in total in the end. My measurements are about 71cm for my waist and 84cm for my chest. I made a size small but it does have a bit of give though because it's stretchy :) I also used a needle to stitch all the panels and ribbing together but you could use a hook if you want to! I just personally like using a darning needle. I hope this helps :)
Thanks so much! I’ve never made anything checkered with the backloop before but I think it might work! I haven’t tested it so i can’t be certain though. I worked out the ratio for stitches v rows to be about 1 stitch to every 1.75 rows so for eg if you wanted small checks you could change colour every 8th stitch and then swap the colours around again after every 14th row. Or bigger checks could be swapping colours every 16 stitches and 28 rows. If you want to do that though it’s probably a good idea to do a little swatch and make sure your like it because I couldn’t say for sure! I hope this helps 😊😊
Hi, hoping you can help me! I have done the front panel and ended up with my V being uneven - the first part (doing the decreases) is longer than the second part (increases) so I have got to the end where I have 34 rows of each and they aren’t the same length 😬 not sure how I’ve managed this - wondering if you have any idea 😅 I think I’ll have to redo it but I’m not sure what I’d do differently so I’m worried I will redo it and it will come out the same. Do you have any ideas? Do you know what I should do differently? Or if I can fix it without taking out all my rows? Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you!!
Oh no! Is there a big difference between the lengths? I think the first thing I would do (and it probably won’t be fun) is count how many stitches there are in every row for the increase and decrease sections to try to work out where the differences are. Then at the very most you could just undo one side and make it the same as the first side you did. But also if there are only a few stitches different between the two sides you could probably just undo and couple of rows and add or subtract the stitches you need. If it doesn’t end up being the exact same number of decreases or increases to the pattern but it’s close, it should be okay and stitching the neck ribbing on will also even it out a bit as well. Hopefully that helps but please let me know if you need anything else 😊😊
I ran into this problem too!! I figured out I was skipping a stitch every other row on the increase part because the last stitch on the very end got really small so I skipped over it. I redid it a second time making sure to do the increase in the very very last stitch and it worked!
Hi 😊 I find the easiest way is to count the number of stitches in a row that you know how no increases, and the count the number of stitches in the row you are up to. Then you will know how many increases you’ve done. If you were supposed to do say 6 rows of increases you should have 6 extra stitches after the 6 rows etc. Hopefully this help be please let me know if you have any trouble 🥰🥰
Oh that’s so odd! Maybe it’s curling because of the tension? The only thing I can think of that might help is using a bigger hook might loosen it up a bit. Hopefully that would work!
It was indeed curling because of the tension, turns out this stitch is a lot denser than the ones I usually do, and I need to relax the tension for this one. Thank you for the advice!
Hi! I think there is a couple of ways you could do it depending on how many colours you want and how thick you want the stripes to be. If you want an even number of colours like 2, you can do an even number of rows with each colour and the colour changes will line up all on one side of the vest so you can just pull the colour across and keep going. The ribbing would be stitched over the yarn that gets pulled across so you wouldn’t see it. The same thing would work with uneven number of colours and swapping on an uneven number of rows. Or at least I know it works with 3 colours - the ball should end up where you need it. I have a vest on my channel that uses 3 colours if you want to check it out for reference! You could also use multiple balls of each colour to make sure you have a ball at each end when you need it if you want an odd number of rows for the stripe but an even number of stitches or vice versa. I hope that helps but let me know if you have any other question 🥰
Hi! Yes I think you could use a different size hook - you would just need to use the cm/inch measurements in the video rather than the row and stitch counts. I think the only measurements I didn't include in the video are the foundation chain and the chain going from the underarm to the top of the shoulder - but if you come across another measurement you need please let me know! The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5” due to the slip stitches pulling it tighter. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine! The measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two. You will probably have to do a fair few more stitches and rows to what I did in each section! The other option to calculate how many rows and stitches you need would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows - you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but you're having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.
Hi 😊 I used 10ply / medium weight yarn! If you want to use a different ply though you could follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch count 😊
Hi! it's difficult to say for sure as I haven't make a vest with that size yarn before but I've tried to find an answer and it looks like for the 3ply yarn you'll need to use about double the amount of yardage/meterage I used due to the different size. My vest used about 560 meters so you may need around 1000 meters for an XS. Hopefully the yarn you want to use have the meterage on your label! But it's really just a guess because the yarns are so different in size. Sorry I could be more help!
Hi! I don’t think so 😔 I used 10ply/medium weight yarn so I think using 5ply with the same stitch count will make it turn out smaller. But you could use the measurements if you want to use that yarn 😊
The chain from the underarm to the shoulder should be about 27cm/10.5" and then once you've done the next row or two it should be about 20cm/7.75" - the slip stitches will pull the chain a bit tighter :)
Hi! The yarn I used recommended a 5-5.5mm hook and I sized up to a 6mm because slip stitches tend to be tighter than other stitches. So check what your ball of yarn says to use and I would suggest going up a half size or a full size for your hook. And it’s also probably a good idea to do a small swatch, just to check that you like the tension 🥰
Hi Eeza 😊 any yarn that has a bit of stretch should work! I’ve made similar vests with 100% acrylic and they turn out the same! I’d steer clear of 100% cotton but anything that’s blended would probably be fine if it has some give 😊 I hope this helps!
Hi! I have the pattern for a size small - I've just copied it into the comments and pinned it to the top :) I'll try to add some notes about row counts for the other sizes too but hopefully that helps!
Hi! Sorry I should have gone into more detail on the video! I have another tutorial titled ‘Crochet cropped split colour sweater vest’ and that goes into more detail. It’s the vest with brown on one side and grey on the other and the only difference is the neck ribbing as it’s in two sections because it’s two colours - if you just ignore than part and stitch the whole neckline from one end to the other it’s the same. The section for stitching the panels together is at 24.28 and for stitching on the ribbing it’s 37.05 😊 hopefully this helps!
I wasn’t sure if you wanted the cm measurement for 31 stitches or rows or something else but here are the measurement below 31 stitches = 50cm 31 rows = 75cm Let me know if you meant something else 🥰🥰🥰
I don’t think so unfortunately 😞😞 I used about 450grams total and though that probably won’t be the same exact weight if you use cotton, I think it would be closer to 450grams
@@victorxd4323 oh no that sucks! If you are still set on a crochet vest you could try a pattern that uses a bigger stitch and you might have just enough yarn! This pattern uses slip stitches which uses a lot of yarn so anything with double or half double crochet would be a possibility! Not the same as this vest but I have a blue/yellow/orange vest on my channel that used about 220grams of cotton yarn so there might be other patterns out there people have for vests or tanks using less yarn 😊 otherwise crochet accessories are always fun too and they usually use less 😊 good luck! And thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 xxx
I feel like it’s not particularly heavy - the yarn I used is a mix of wool and acrylic so it’s not as heavy as if it were made of a more cotton based yarn. The finished vest (size small) was around 450grams total if that helps give you an indication 😊
Hi! Yes it should be no problem if you use 8ply yarn 😊 you’ll just have to follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch counts. With a thinner yarn like 8ply you’ll know if you are on the right track if you have more stitches and rows than I do 😊 let me know if you need any other information!
Hi :) no problem! These are the measurements for my foundation chain and those first rows so I think if you make it with the same measurements and then use the other section measurements after that for the number of rows it should work out! The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5”. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine! Also the measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two. You probably have to do a fair few more stitches and rows to what I did in each section! The other option to calculate would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows. Your yarn ball might have the gauge on it but if it doesn't you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but your having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.
Hi Skye 😊 the 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section is 16 stitches by 24 rows and for the single crochet ribbing it’s 15 stitches by 12 rows. Please let me know if you need an more info 😊
I think because of the underarm decreases, a straight rectangle sleeve might not work. I think I would make a shaped sleeve that is a bell shape at the top. I have a mauve/purple cardigan tutorial and I think a sleeve in that shape could work! I use a thicker yarn so the stitch counts wouldn’t be the same but I included the measurements so that might help! And other people would have tutorials with similar shapes arms though 😊 hopefully this help!
Hi! I am actually working on a video right now for making sleeves! I’m adding sleeves to one of my vests and it’s not this one but I think they might work for this vest if they were made a little longer 😊 the video should be up pretty soon so might be helpful! But otherwise you could probably take the sleeves from another sweater pattern you like and add them to this vest - but making sure to measure so they’re the right length 😊
Hi Jasmine 😊 the vest weighs just about 450 grams - hopefully you have something to weigh to compare! I used wool yarn for this vest but I have a very similar vest to this one made from acrylic yarn and it’s a bit lighter. It’ll definitely depend on the yarn that you use and neither version are particularly light but I don’t notice their weight while I’m wearing them. The yarn I used for this one says each ball is 125 meters and 100 grams incase that helps you pick a yarn if you decide to make it 😊
Oh no! The ribbing around the waist is around 8cm long so that will add a bit of length and you can make it longer too! The vest is fairly cropped but I can check the measurements on mine at the point you’re at to see how they compare if that helps! What part are you up to? Or size? Row 35 could be in a different place depending on the size 😊
Seguendo lo schema per una taglia L, con le diminuzioni lo scollo viene troppo profondo. Praticamente per arrivare a 14.5 cm ho dovuto smettere di fare diminuzioni perché altrimenti finivo le maglie
Oh no! I’m sorry about that! I didn’t think of it before. Let me know if you need help working out the right measurements. If you add more rows to the shoulder portion that might work!
Hi 🥰 for a large you’d need about 550 grams (or just under 600 to be safe) or about 700meters. That’s if your yarn thickness is the same as mine (10ply/medium weight). I think there are yarn calculators online though if it’s different 😊 I hope this helps!
Hi! I used about 450 grams or yarn and they came in 100g balls so I used 4 and a half balls! Is that what you meant? If you meant metres/yards I can find that out :)
Hi! The vest is a bit stretchy so it will depend a bit how fitted you want it o be. But the easiest thing to do to widen the vest would be to follow one of the bigger sizes instead. You could do the length of your regular size which will be all the stitch counts going vertically, and all the row counts which will be the width in a bigger size 😊 I hope this help 🥰🥰
Hi! Sorry I can’t speak French 😔 but I have a written pattern in the pinned comment that maybe would help if you put it through google translate? If any of the abbreviations don’t make sense I can try to help 😊

Thank you so much ❤️ this really helps me follow along
I was making a crochet vest without following any pattern but didn't know how to do the v neck ribbing.. Your video was so helpfull thank you so much !
Yay I’m so glad 🥰🥰🥰
Just started making a vest! I can’t wait to see the end result This is definitely my favorite crochet vest tutorial I love it🥰
Yay!!! I’m so happy you like it 🥰🥰
I made this and it looks really nice! I wear it all the time. Made mine with a thinner yarn so it took some time, but it was worth it. Thanks for the pattern!
Yay I’m so glad you like it!! Yeah the slip stitches are definitely time consuming haha 😊🥰
Made it for one of my friends, it looks amazing, she loves it!
Thank you very much your video it's super easy to follow
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you both like it 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial!
Yay I’m glad you like it 🥰🥰

Heheh thanks!! I just love wearing vests too much 🥰
This is so cute and is a great style perfect for those who love to embellish our handmade garments for a unique style.
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you like it 🥰🥰
oooo cant wait to make this :) i was looking for a crochet vest pattern I can easily do duplicate stitch/surface crochet on top of and this looks perfect, thank you!
That’s such a great idea!! I’ll have to try that some time 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the tutorial, Steph!
And your voice is lovely ^^
Thanks so much!! 🥰🥰
Ooooh, I need this!! Very pretty vest!!
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰
this looks so cute! im defiantly making it thanks for the tutorial
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰
You can explain it really well ❤
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Io non riesco a capire. 😢
I love this pattern! I'm going to make one for my daughter. : )
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you like it 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this, I'm turning it into a dress 💕
That’s a great idea!! I’d be so interested to know how it goes 🥰🥰
such a good tutorial, thank you! gona make this for a friend soon
Thanks so much! 🥰
Thank you for the tutorial. I really love the vest :) I've got one question though: I'm using a 4,5mm yarn and needle. How long (in cm) should the very first row of slip knots be (where you are chaining up 24)? I definitely have to chain up more than 24, using a smaller needle. I just can't figure out how many haha
Thanks so much! The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5”. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough I’m sure it will work! Please let me know if you have any other questions 🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi perfect, thank you so much!
Hi, so I have some difficulty counting the rows - the pattern become like knitted rib, so does every rib count as one or two rows? Really difficult for me to figure out with slipstiching 🙈😅
Ah yes the slip stitch ribs are hard to count! But every rib counts as 2 rows 😊 so each raised part of the rib is one row and each gap of the rib is another row. I normally find it easiest to count by 2’s, either count all the raised or all the gaps
Hopefully this helps!! 🥰
@@StephanieTashi perfect, that's what I figured when I tried to start over on another piece and count on a paper at the same time 👌 thank you! Also, cannot recommend mohair yarn for this vest, as it entangles and gets impossible to reuse if you make a mistake and need to pull out a row or two... Just if anyone is wondering 🥲
@@fengelz you’re welcome! And thanks for the advice! I’ve never tried to use mohair for slip stitches before so I won’t start now 😅😅
how many grams of thread would you recommend for a size xl ?
Hi! For an XL it would be around 620grams of yarn if you are using a similar yarn thickness/composition to me and the same size hook 😊 I hope that helps! 🥰
Hi, i want to ask you if the front and the back panel would be of same width because which i have made is the front pannel is little more wider than the back pannel
Hi! The front panel should be slightly bigger than the front panel to leave a little extra room for the chest 😊🥰
@@StephanieTashi thanks a lot 🥰
I don't know why, but when working on the front panel, the increases aren't as 'high' as on the decreasing side of the V-neck? I don't know what I'm doing wrong!
Oh no! But you’re not necessarily doing anything wrong 😊 I think the first thing to rule out is that you haven’t missed any stitches. I found the increases very difficult to see sometimes and had to go back. You can count the stitches in the rows just to make sure you haven’t missed any. Each row should go up by one stitch (each raised and divot row) or it’s probably easier to count every two rows and make sure it’s gone up two stitches (the raised rows).
If that’s not the problem then it’s probably all fine! Mine did look warped when I made it and it kind of looked a little curved almost. But when the panels are joined and the trim is added it all flattened out 😊 please let me know if you have any issues! 🥰🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi I'm not sure, I got so frustrated because on one it was like 80 degrees on the increse and the other side maybe 30 degrees? I actually, though maybe this is silly, decided to approach it by crocheting the whole other side separately, and then attaching them in the middle :'D
And when increasing, you do two single crochets in the last stitch when going up, then chain one, and then do two single crochets in the first stitch going down again, right? or did I get that wrong?
I hope this approach I'm doing works out, and maybe if I make another vest (which is likely, if it fits me :D ) I will try again with the normal way.
thank you so much, that's so nice of you 🥰
@@elliyo4286 that’s so annoying! But I get that! I much prefer doing decreases and would choose that when I can for sure. I have a vest similar to this with different colours on each side so I did pretty much what you described 😊
And yes that’s correct for the increases, I did two single crochets into the last stitch going up, chain 1 and turn and two single crochets straight away after. It can be really hard to see that last increase from the previous row sometimes - I had to go back a couple times cause I missed one here and there.
Hopefully it works out better this way! Let me know if you have any more trouble 😊
I started like 4 times, and then I came back to the original one and everything worked out fine :D I just finished it, and it looks great, except that for some reason I made it super cropped. Like, bralette length xD But I'll definitely use this pattern again, just gonna make it longer next time :D @@StephanieTashi
Hello and thank you for this beautiful pattern! I have made summer tops with cotton yarn in the past but this is my first winter garment and i am wondering about the type of yarn. Wool or acrylic or something blended? Thanks for the suggestions! 🙏
I’m so glad you like it!! You could use acrylic, wool or a wool blend - they would all work well. The yarn I used is 52% Merino and 48% Acrylic and I’ve also made this vest in 100% acrylic so it will just depend on what you prefer/budget. I hope this helps 🥰🥰
Hi Stephanie, I love that tutorial ❤. Can I ask roughly how much yarn (weight wise) would I need for the small size?Thank you
Hi! Thanks so much 🥰 I made a size small as well so it would be about the same as me - I used just about 450 grams of medium weight yarn and that was about 560 meters 😊 I hope that helps!
This is such a nice tutorial thank you so much! How much more yarn would I require for a size L? I can’t seem to find it in the sizing chart
Thank you! 🥰🥰 it will depend a bit on the size and composition of the yarn you use so I can’t say for certain but I think it would be about 550grams /700 metres if it’s similar to mine 😊 I used balls that were 100grams and 125 meters each if that helps!
Hey! Wonderful pattern 💗
I have a question, would it be okay to use a 5mm hook with weight 4 yarn throughout? Will it take more time? Will the stitches look different? I just started crocheting 6 months ago so i don't really know....
Thanks so much!! And yes it would definitely work to use a 5 mm hook weight 4 yarn but it would make the vest a bit smaller if you use the stitch counts for your usual size. So you could either follow the centimetre and inch measurements instead of the stitch count, or if you would prefer to follow the stitch counts, you could make one of the bigger sizes - you could start off by making the first row with the centimetre and inch measurements and then compare that to the number of stitches in the other sizes and that might give you an idea of which size to follow. The stitches won’t look any different but they will be a little bit smaller both in height and width, but other than that it shouldn’t be any different. It may take a little bit longer because you would be doing more stitches and rows, but I don’t think it would be significantly longer because the hooks not that much smaller - though that also depends on how tight you pull the yarn.
Welcome to the crochet family! If decide to give it a go and have any questions along the way, please let me know 🥰🥰🥰
Thankyou so much! I'm planning on making one soon ❤️
Hello!!I love this tutorial and it’s really easy to follow.However I’m not sure if I like how the slip stitches look.Would it make a difference if I did single crochet??
Thanks so much 🥰 I definitely think you could do it with single crochets! But you will need to do less rows. I think it would work if you followed the cm/inch measurements instead of the row counts. You may also need to do a couple less foundation chains for the bottom and chains for the underarm to shoulder portion but that also depends on how long you want it to be 😊
I need to make this oneee😍
🥰🥰🥰
what kind of yarn did you use? like is it acrylic, cotton, wool or smth else? 💘
The yarn I used is 52% merino wool and 48% acrylic! I used Wool to be Wild from Abbey Road if that’s helpful 🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi thank you for a fast reply and your pattern is awesome! 💖💖
@@iwe6937 thanks so much!! 🥰🥰
Masterpiece .... Figuring out how to make this a houndstooth mock knit🤔
Omg that would be so cool 😊 I’ve always wanted to try crocheting houndstooth but haven’t gotten around it it yet!
Thanks for the great pattern, I'm making it as a gift for someone right now! I noticed that after making the front panel, you fastened off and started the back panel separately. Would it be possible to continue the back panel without fastening off (going straight into the next row of back loop slip stitches)? Thanks!
I definitely think that would work to continue the front panel into the back panel 😊 you’ll have have to make sure that after you’ve done the first underarm section of the back panel that you end up at the correct end of the vest! If it the wrong end you could just add an extra row to get to the other side. The slip stitch rows are very narrow so one extra row won’t throw it off 😊 thanks so much!
@@StephanieTashi Thanks for the quick reply! That helps a lot 🥰
It's a really good tutorial. How many balls of yarn for a small size vest? Thank you.
Thank you so much! I used 4.5 balls for my vest which is a small too 😊 The balls I used were 100grams and 125 meters each if that helps!
Super Thank you 🙏❤️
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this pattern... I have some 3 weight yarn that I'd love to use up. How many stitches should I use to start and work throughout?
Thanks so much! I couldn't say exactly the number of stitches and rows for weight 3 yarn as I haven't made a version of the vest with that weight but I think it would work if you use the cm/inch measurements in the video rather than the row and stitch counts.
I think the only measurements I didn't include in the video are the foundation chain and the chain going from the underarm to the top of the shoulder - but if you come across another measurement you need please let me know!
The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5” due to the slip stitches pulling it tighter. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine!
The measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two.
You will probably have to do a fair few more stitches and rows to what I did in each section!
The other option to calculate how many rows and stitches you need would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows - you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but you're having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.
@@StephanieTashi Thank you so much for getting back to me. I will use all your advice above.
If i wanted to make this a crew neck, where do you recommend i stop tapering off?
Ooh good idea! I think maybe 8 rows with the decreases would be about right! I just tried mine on backwards and with the 4 decreases and it looked sort of like a mock turtle neck. So it probably depends how low of a crew neck you want - I’d guess that 8 decrease rows would bring it to the bottom of your neck and if you’d rather be a bit lower than that then maybe a couple of extra rows 😊
Heeey, I'm working with a smaller yarn, in the part where yo have to chain 31, what's the measure?? (In cm) So I can fit it with the counts. I would like to know pleaaase, I love how you explain the pattern❤✨
Hey! Thanks so much 😊 I’m glad you like it!! The measurement for the 31 chains section is 20cm but I measured that after I’d done the next row - for me the chain row is normally a bit bigger because the slip stitches pull it tighter. I normally add about 15% so I think about 23cm for the chain and that should be around 20cm after the first row or two. If your stitches aren’t making the chain shorter though you could stick with the 20cm 😊 let me know if you need any other measurements or anything 🥰🥰🥰
I'm currently making you pattern and its very helpfull, but I have a question. Is it a problem if the bottom of the vest isn't straight? I haven't done the trim yet, it's just the bottom of the vest. I would appriciet it if you'd answear.🥰
Hi Anna! Oh no! Sometimes the slip stitches will pull panels a little out of line because they are quite tight. Is it kind of a diagonal line at the bottom or more of a wavy line? I’d say as long as the stitch count is the same on both sides of the panel (or very close to the same) then stitching it together and adding the trim might even it out. If the stitch count isn’t even then I’m not really sure but I find that sewing on the trim does usually even out little bumps! Hopefully that helps a bit but let me know if you need any more info 🥰🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi Thank you for the info. I hope the trim'll help. ☺️
Thanks
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Is the back panel supposed to be smaller than the front panel? for a small the front had 34+34+ 2 rows = 70 rows between the shoulder chunks. The back had 4+4 increase/decrease + 54 middle rows = 62 rows, so there's an 8 row difference between the front and back if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Angel! Yep that’s right 😊 I made the front panel a little bigger to leave a bit of extra room for the bust. You could definitely make both panels the same by adding 8 rows to the straight section at the back if you prefer 😊
@Stephanie Tashi thank you for the clarification! 😊 I panicked a little when my panels didn't line up and wasn't sure if that was by design or not haha
Thanks ❤
🥰🥰🥰
If I want an uncropped look, do I simply add more rows? Or do I need to do something else?
Hey @pearlyriver! You can just add more stitches to the foundation chain to make it longer! I did 24 stitches in my foundation chain so if you wanted it you could just add more chains. You could measure from under your arm pit to where you want the vest to finish but make sure you leave room for both the ribbing around the arm and around the bottom if you want to include that :) I'd add about 4cm/1 inch for the arm ribbing and 8cm/2 inches for the waist ribbing - but those can also be adjusted for length if you want! Hopefully this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions
@@StephanieTashi Thank you so much.
Hey 😊

How do I do the decreases for the neckline on my front piece if I have different measurements to you? Do I just take half of my center piece?
I have 18 cm for the back. I would then take the decreases for the front piece until I am at about 9 cm and then take the same number of increases. Then it should actually be centered. Is that correct?
@@francadosch1607 yes that should work! my front panel had a couple of extra rows over the back panel to give a bit of extra room for the bust but it would also be fine to do them approximately the same width so don’t stress if you can’t get exactly 9cm 😊
Help! I really want to make this! What is considered medium weight yarn? I live in NZ… is medium weight DK?? Or is this made of Worsted weight? I’m a bit confused
Hi! Medium weight yarn is the same as worsted, Aran or 10ply 😊 I hope this helps! 🥰
Hiii. I want to ask, what kind of yarn do you use in this project? Is that milk cotton?
Hi! 😊 the yarn I used is a wool blend (52% merino and 48% acrylic) though I think any yarn with a little give or stretch would work! Hopefully this helps 🥰
Hi! I was wondering will the size of yarn affects the measurements and the number of stiches/rows that I have to make?
Hi! Yes the size of your yarn will effect the number of rows and stitches but the measurements will stay the same. So if you want to use a different size yarn you can do as many stitches or row as you need to do to reach the measurement for that section! Please let me know if you have any other questions 😊 I hope this helps!
@@StephanieTashi Thanks a bunch for answering🤗. I hope I'll succeed in making the vest, great tutorial 👍👍.
Does it work for men too ? Looking for a pattern for a friend of mine, but i wanna be sure the form of it is unisexe
Yeah I think it would work! There is no shaping as it stretchy so it will form to any body. The only thing is that it’s cropped so depending on their style, it might be good to make it a bit longer which would really just be lengthening the foundation chain for both of the panels and going from there. The sizing is also women’s so a men’s one would probably need to be a bigger size than what they would wear in men’s 😊 let me know if you need any extra measurements or anything!
When we start the front panel and I've done a medium size (12 rows) will I end up at the bottom of the vest? I've ended up at the top and I'm not sure if I'm right 😅
No worries! I didn’t count my foundation chain in the rows of that first section - sorry if that was confusing! So I ended up at the opposite end of where my tail started - is that where you ended? If not you could add an extra row but also because the slip stitches are much the same size as the chain, one less or more row shouldn’t make too much of a difference overall 😊 please let me know if that doesn’t make sense 🥰
Hi, I would love to make this in 2xl, but I'm not sure how much yarn do I need. Can you help with this?
Hi! Its hard to tell exactly but I would guess around 800-900grams - but that will also depend on the yarn you are using and how many meters it has per 100grams. The finished vest for a 2XL would be around 85cm wide and 52cm in length. But that also won’t be exact. Hopefully this helps!
I would like to ask how much length is of the vest is with chain 24, cause I'm pretty tall.
Thankyou in advance.🌸
Hi! Did you want the measurement from the shoulder to the bottom or just for the section under the arm pit starting with the chain 24? The measurement of the bottom of the vest 14 cm not including the ribbing. But for the full vest from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the ribbing its 48cm 😊
Thankyou 💖@@StephanieTashi
Thanks for the tutorial. May I know your weight and height. Sorry about this, because I was confused about my size
No problem! The sizing chart I use is in the description box and I also wanted to mention that the vest is very stretchy 😊my sister and I are different sizes normally but we both fit this vest so the sizing is flexible! I’m 166cm tall and I’m around about 55kg. I hope this helps 😊
Hi! If I used 4ply yarn, do I have to do more initial stitches?
Hi! Yes I think you’ll have to do quite a few more stitches. If you follow the measurements instead of the stitch count it should work better 😊
Please tell me how many meters in one skein of yarn, how many skeins it took in total and please give me your measurements (chest and waist circumference). thanks in advance! and how do you join all the parts together? is this done with a hook or needle?
Hi! I used 4.5 skeins of yarn and each skein is 125 meters so I used about 563 meters in total in the end. My measurements are about 71cm for my waist and 84cm for my chest. I made a size small but it does have a bit of give though because it's stretchy :) I also used a needle to stitch all the panels and ribbing together but you could use a hook if you want to! I just personally like using a darning needle. I hope this helps :)
Great tutorial! How could I make this a checkered vest?
Thanks so much! I’ve never made anything checkered with the backloop before but I think it might work! I haven’t tested it so i can’t be certain though. I worked out the ratio for stitches v rows to be about 1 stitch to every 1.75 rows so for eg if you wanted small checks you could change colour every 8th stitch and then swap the colours around again after every 14th row. Or bigger checks could be swapping colours every 16 stitches and 28 rows. If you want to do that though it’s probably a good idea to do a little swatch and make sure your like it because I couldn’t say for sure! I hope this helps 😊😊
Hi, hoping you can help me! I have done the front panel and ended up with my V being uneven - the first part (doing the decreases) is longer than the second part (increases) so I have got to the end where I have 34 rows of each and they aren’t the same length 😬 not sure how I’ve managed this - wondering if you have any idea 😅 I think I’ll have to redo it but I’m not sure what I’d do differently so I’m worried I will redo it and it will come out the same. Do you have any ideas? Do you know what I should do differently? Or if I can fix it without taking out all my rows? Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you!!
Oh no! Is there a big difference between the lengths? I think the first thing I would do (and it probably won’t be fun) is count how many stitches there are in every row for the increase and decrease sections to try to work out where the differences are. Then at the very most you could just undo one side and make it the same as the first side you did. But also if there are only a few stitches different between the two sides you could probably just undo and couple of rows and add or subtract the stitches you need. If it doesn’t end up being the exact same number of decreases or increases to the pattern but it’s close, it should be okay and stitching the neck ribbing on will also even it out a bit as well. Hopefully that helps but please let me know if you need anything else 😊😊
I ran into this problem too!! I figured out I was skipping a stitch every other row on the increase part because the last stitch on the very end got really small so I skipped over it. I redid it a second time making sure to do the increase in the very very last stitch and it worked!
How do you count the increases? I made some increases but lost track and don’t know how many I made
Hi 😊 I find the easiest way is to count the number of stitches in a row that you know how no increases, and the count the number of stitches in the row you are up to. Then you will know how many increases you’ve done. If you were supposed to do say 6 rows of increases you should have 6 extra stitches after the 6 rows etc. Hopefully this help be please let me know if you have any trouble 🥰🥰
My work starts to curl a bit at the bottom and the top, almost bending it into a C shape, and I qm not happy with it. Any tips on avoiding this?
Oh that’s so odd! Maybe it’s curling because of the tension? The only thing I can think of that might help is using a bigger hook might loosen it up a bit. Hopefully that would work!
@@StephanieTashi I'm going to try, thank you!
It was indeed curling because of the tension, turns out this stitch is a lot denser than the ones I usually do, and I need to relax the tension for this one. Thank you for the advice!
@@fardareismai4495 glad I could help! 😊 Slip stitches definitely took me a while to get used to the tension!
how would i go about making this striped? is there a way without leaving a ton of ends to weave in at the end?
Hi! I think there is a couple of ways you could do it depending on how many colours you want and how thick you want the stripes to be. If you want an even number of colours like 2, you can do an even number of rows with each colour and the colour changes will line up all on one side of the vest so you can just pull the colour across and keep going. The ribbing would be stitched over the yarn that gets pulled across so you wouldn’t see it. The same thing would work with uneven number of colours and swapping on an uneven number of rows. Or at least I know it works with 3 colours - the ball should end up where you need it. I have a vest on my channel that uses 3 colours if you want to check it out for reference! You could also use multiple balls of each colour to make sure you have a ball at each end when you need it if you want an odd number of rows for the stripe but an even number of stitches or vice versa. I hope that helps but let me know if you have any other question 🥰
@@StephanieTashi thank you so much !!
Does that hook you use for crocheting need to be 6mm? Can I do it with 4.5mm hook?
Hi! Yes I think you could use a different size hook - you would just need to use the cm/inch measurements in the video rather than the row and stitch counts.
I think the only measurements I didn't include in the video are the foundation chain and the chain going from the underarm to the top of the shoulder - but if you come across another measurement you need please let me know!
The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5” due to the slip stitches pulling it tighter. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine!
The measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two.
You will probably have to do a fair few more stitches and rows to what I did in each section!
The other option to calculate how many rows and stitches you need would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows - you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but you're having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.
@@StephanieTashi okay, thank you so much for this reply🥰🥰
Hi! How many ply of yarn did you use? Is it 8 ply or 5 ply?
Hi 😊 I used 10ply / medium weight yarn! If you want to use a different ply though you could follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch count 😊
@@StephanieTashi thanks! Can't wait to finish this:D
Hi! If i use 3 ply yarn how many yarn do i need for xs ? Yarn weight 50 grams.
Hi! it's difficult to say for sure as I haven't make a vest with that size yarn before but I've tried to find an answer and it looks like for the 3ply yarn you'll need to use about double the amount of yardage/meterage I used due to the different size. My vest used about 560 meters so you may need around 1000 meters for an XS. Hopefully the yarn you want to use have the meterage on your label! But it's really just a guess because the yarns are so different in size. Sorry I could be more help!
Does this exact number or stitches work on 5ply milk cotton yarn?
Hi! I don’t think so 😔 I used 10ply/medium weight yarn so I think using 5ply with the same stitch count will make it turn out smaller. But you could use the measurements if you want to use that yarn 😊
How long was the 31 chains for the arm hole in inches/ cm? My yard a different size I think
The chain from the underarm to the shoulder should be about 27cm/10.5" and then once you've done the next row or two it should be about 20cm/7.75" - the slip stitches will pull the chain a bit tighter :)
@@StephanieTashi thanks!!
Hi! I'll be using a 5ply 50gram milk cotton yarn, can I know what size of hook I'll be using?
Hi! The yarn I used recommended a 5-5.5mm hook and I sized up to a 6mm because slip stitches tend to be tighter than other stitches. So check what your ball of yarn says to use and I would suggest going up a half size or a full size for your hook. And it’s also probably a good idea to do a small swatch, just to check that you like the tension 🥰
@@StephanieTashi thank you!
What kind of yarn is good to use for this in place of wool yarn?
Hi Eeza 😊 any yarn that has a bit of stretch should work! I’ve made similar vests with 100% acrylic and they turn out the same! I’d steer clear of 100% cotton but anything that’s blended would probably be fine if it has some give 😊 I hope this helps!
I shall try this. I appreciate the quick response! ❤
Do you have a pattern written out anywhere? Sometimes I get lost in the directions
Hi! I have the pattern for a size small - I've just copied it into the comments and pinned it to the top :) I'll try to add some notes about row counts for the other sizes too but hopefully that helps!
Is there a video for how to sew it together?
Hi! Sorry I should have gone into more detail on the video! I have another tutorial titled ‘Crochet cropped split colour sweater vest’ and that goes into more detail. It’s the vest with brown on one side and grey on the other and the only difference is the neck ribbing as it’s in two sections because it’s two colours - if you just ignore than part and stitch the whole neckline from one end to the other it’s the same. The section for stitching the panels together is at 24.28 and for stitching on the ribbing it’s 37.05 😊 hopefully this helps!
Is there a written pattern anywhere? Thank you so much!
Hi! I don’t have a written pattern for this one at the moment sorry! I would like to get to it though so I can reply to this comment if/when I do 😊
how 31 in cm plz ? and thanks for the sweet tutorial
I wasn’t sure if you wanted the cm measurement for 31 stitches or rows or something else but here are the measurement below
31 stitches = 50cm
31 rows = 75cm
Let me know if you meant something else 🥰🥰🥰
What type of yarn did you use
Hi! I used a wool/acrylic blend yarn 😊
I only have 3 bundles of 50g yarn (cotton) will that be enough
I don’t think so unfortunately 😞😞 I used about 450grams total and though that probably won’t be the same exact weight if you use cotton, I think it would be closer to 450grams
@StephanieTashi thanks a lot
@@victorxd4323 oh no that sucks! If you are still set on a crochet vest you could try a pattern that uses a bigger stitch and you might have just enough yarn! This pattern uses slip stitches which uses a lot of yarn so anything with double or half double crochet would be a possibility! Not the same as this vest but I have a blue/yellow/orange vest on my channel that used about 220grams of cotton yarn so there might be other patterns out there people have for vests or tanks using less yarn 😊 otherwise crochet accessories are always fun too and they usually use less 😊 good luck! And thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 xxx
Is the sweater vest heavy or light
I feel like it’s not particularly heavy - the yarn I used is a mix of wool and acrylic so it’s not as heavy as if it were made of a more cotton based yarn. The finished vest (size small) was around 450grams total if that helps give you an indication 😊
@@StephanieTashi Thanks for answering!
Can i do dis with 8 ply yarn😭 Im just a beginner and I bought thw wrong size of yarn huhu
Hi! Yes it should be no problem if you use 8ply yarn 😊 you’ll just have to follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch counts. With a thinner yarn like 8ply you’ll know if you are on the right track if you have more stitches and rows than I do 😊 let me know if you need any other information!
Hello! I'm going to start, but my yarn is 4mm. I want a small size, can you help me?
I already have 24 chain in first time but look very small ahah
Hi :) no problem! These are the measurements for my foundation chain and those first rows so I think if you make it with the same measurements and then use the other section measurements after that for the number of rows it should work out!
The very first row measures about 19cm or 7.5” and when you’ve done another row or two it should be measuring around 14cm/5.5”. So it might be a good idea to measure that starting chain and then measure again after a couple of rows 😊 but as long as it’s close enough it should be fine!
Also the measurement of the chain I do going from the underarm to the shoulder is 27cm/10.5" and then it's about 20cm/7.75" after you've done the next row or two.

The other option to calculate would be to compare the gauge of your yarn to mine. The 10cm gauge for the slip stitch section with my yarn is 16 stitches by 24 rows. Your yarn ball might have the gauge on it but if it doesn't you could crochet a 10cm square with slip stitches and count the stitches and rows to work out the ratio. If you want to do it this way but your having trouble working it out let me know and I'll see if I can help :) Also the gauge for the single crochet ribbing is 15 stitches by 12 rows.

how much yarn did you use?
Hi! I used 450gram of 10 ply/medium weight yarn 😊
Can I crochet with a 3.5 mm needle ??
Hi! Yes you can use a 3.5mm hook but you’ll have to the follow the cm/inch measurements rather than the stitch counts because I used a bigger hook 😊
@@StephanieTashi thanks
Is it possible to make a goosefoot print?
I’ve never tried goosefoot print before so I’m not sure sorry! If you can do the print in the backloop then it could work!
How would you add sleeves to this?
I think because of the underarm decreases, a straight rectangle sleeve might not work. I think I would make a shaped sleeve that is a bell shape at the top. I have a mauve/purple cardigan tutorial and I think a sleeve in that shape could work! I use a thicker yarn so the stitch counts wouldn’t be the same but I included the measurements so that might help! And other people would have tutorials with similar shapes arms though 😊 hopefully this help!
How can i make sleeves for this? (I want it to be a sweater)
Hi! I am actually working on a video right now for making sleeves! I’m adding sleeves to one of my vests and it’s not this one but I think they might work for this vest if they were made a little longer 😊 the video should be up pretty soon so might be helpful! But otherwise you could probably take the sleeves from another sweater pattern you like and add them to this vest - but making sure to measure so they’re the right length 😊
How heavy would you say the vest is? I love the way crochet clothes looks, but every time I make them, they turn out too heavy to wear daily TT
Hi Jasmine 😊 the vest weighs just about 450 grams - hopefully you have something to weigh to compare! I used wool yarn for this vest but I have a very similar vest to this one made from acrylic yarn and it’s a bit lighter. It’ll definitely depend on the yarn that you use and neither version are particularly light but I don’t notice their weight while I’m wearing them. The yarn I used for this one says each ball is 125 meters and 100 grams incase that helps you pick a yarn if you decide to make it 😊
I keep losing a stitch with every row. I cannot figure it out.
Hi! Are you losing stitches on the increase section?
What size you crochet the sweater
Hi! I make a size small in the video 😊 the sizing guide for the measurements I used is in the description if you want to check it out!
Im on 35 row and realized its super short for me. I dont know what i ve done bad :/
Oh no! The ribbing around the waist is around 8cm long so that will add a bit of length and you can make it longer too! The vest is fairly cropped but I can check the measurements on mine at the point you’re at to see how they compare if that helps! What part are you up to? Or size? Row 35 could be in a different place depending on the size 😊
È bellissimo, ma a me viene soli tanto nervoso perché non so eseguirlo.😢..Il tutorial in italiano, non è possibile? Grazieeeee.

Hello beautiful people
How much yarn do I need for a size large? 🤍
Hi 🥰 for a large you’d need about 550 grams (or just under 600 to be safe) or about 700meters. That’s if your yarn thickness is the same as mine (10ply/medium weight). I think there are yarn calculators online though if it’s different 😊 I hope this helps!
@@StephanieTashi thank you soooo much🩵🩷✨️
@@meowna6204 no problem 🥰🥰🥰
How many pieces of yarn do you use?

PHẦN NGỰC LỚN muốn nới chiều ngang áo ra thì làm sao ạ
Hi! The vest is a bit stretchy so it will depend a bit how fitted you want it o be. But the easiest thing to do to widen the vest would be to follow one of the bigger sizes instead. You could do the length of your regular size which will be all the stitch counts going vertically, and all the row counts which will be the width in a bigger size 😊 I hope this help 🥰🥰
