Crochet pattern for a baby & children's vest in 7 sizes: Grapevine vest

With this pattern you can crochet a thin vest for babies, toddlers and children.

This crochet vest is crocheted in 2-color diamonds pattern. The yarn don't need to be cut when changing colors. It is carried invisibly at the edge. The diamonds pattern forms a kind of honeycomb structure, which makes the crochet piece 3-D-like. The vest is crocheted from bottom to top. If you want a longer vest at the end, there is the possibility to crochet a waist cuff.

This pattern is my first design and took a year from idea to completion. I published this crochet pattern on my first sales platform in April 2018.

The pattern contains all the information you need to crochet a vest that really fits:

• There is a schematic with the final dimensions of the crochet vest
• The gauge swatch is explained in detail.
• Another table provides information on yarn consumption for each size
• a separate pdf file explaining the diamonds pattern

With this pattern, you know in advance exactly what dimensions your vest will have after crocheting.
