Pattern
- Row 1: 3 ch (as a replacement for the 1st dc) 1 dc in every stitch to the end of the row
- Row 2: 2 ch (as a replacement for the 1st dc), [ 1 fpdc around the next dc of the pre row, 1 bpdc around the next dc of the pre row ]
- Row 3: like 2nd row
How it works
The vest is worked in 4 steps. Back, front parts and sleeves are crocheted separately. After closing the side and shoulder seams, the sleeves are inserted. Finally, the facing is worked.

Back part
- Work the first dc of pattern A in the 5th ch from needle
- Start with basic pattern A.
- At a total height of 10 cm (from the cast on), the pattern changes to pattern B. In the 1st pattern row, 7/5/3/3 sts are decreased in a distributed manner. (= 102/116/130/144 sts)
- Now work according to the matching crochet instructions.
- Use the correct size!
- Work row 1. – 51 of the instruction pattern.
- Work row 4 to 21. (appr. 11.8″/30 cm as of bond end)
- Then decrease 7 sts on both sides for armholes in pattern B row 22. (= 88/102/116/130 M)
- The pattern repeat is then worked up to row 51.
Attention with crochet script – the decreased stitches must be subtracted!
Finally follow 9/13/17/25 rows of dc.
