Pattern instructions

NOTE: This pattern is written in American English. All measurements in charts are in cm. For conversion from inches to cm - click here. There are different terms for crocheting in American and British English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for " crochet terms" here. For this pattern in British English, please click here.

CROCHET INFO:
On every dc row replace first dc with 4 ch.
Replace first tr on every tr row with 5 ch.
Replace first dtr on every dtr row with 6 ch.
Beg every sc row with 1 ch. Ch does not replace first sc.

PATTERN:
See diagrams A. 1 to A. 8.

DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 dc by working the next 2 dc tog as follows: Work 1 dc but wait with last pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next dc but on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

DECREASE TIP CH-SPACES:
Dec 1 ch-space at beg of row as follows seen from RS: Work ch 2, skip the first ch-space, work 1 dc around next ch-space. On next row skip the last ch-space seen from WS (= first ch-space seen from RS).

Dec 1 ch-space at end of row as follows seen from RS: Work until 1 ch-space remains, ch 2, skip the last ch-space, work 1 st in each of the remaining sts. On next row skip the first ch-space, work ch 2, and 1 dc around next ch-space seen from WS (= last ch-space seen from RS).
----------------------------------------------------------

VEST:
Worked back and forth, bottom up. Then divide piece at the armholes and work front and back piece separately. Work an edge at the bottom of with mesh pattern at the end.

Work 197-206-225-244-272-290 loose ch (includes 4 ch to turn with) on hook size 4. 5 mm/US 7 with Belle. Turn and work as follows: Work 1 dc in 5th ch from hook, then work 1 dc in each of the next 3-5-3-1-1-5 ch, * skip ch 1, work 1 dc in each of the next 6 ch *, repeat from *-* 26-27-30-33-37-39 more times = 166-174-190-206-230-246 dc and 4 ch to turn with - READ CROCHET INFO. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Continue back and forth with 1 dc in every dc until piece measures 5-5-6-6-7-7 cm / 2''-2''-2 3/8''-2 3/8''-2 3/4''-2 3/4''. Now work pattern from 2nd row in diagram from RS as follows: Work A. 1 (= 8 dc), then work A. 2 (= 8 dc) 19-20-22-24-27-29 times in width, A. 3 (= 7 dc). On last row in diagram A. 1 to A. 3 dec 32 dc evenly in all sizes - READ DECREASE TIP = 135-143-159-175-199-215 dc. Continue with 1 dc in every dc until piece measures 25-25-26-26-27-27 cm / 9 3/4" -9 3/4" -10 1/4" -10 1/4" -10½ " -10" ½ vertically. Then work pattern from 2nd row in A. 1, A. 2 and A. 3 as before (but now work 15-16-18-20-23-25 repetitions of A. 2 in width). Finish before the last 2 rows in diagram A. 1 to A. 3. Now work 1 row with 1 dc in every dc and adjust no of sts to 136-140-161-173-197-210 dc. Cut the yarn. Insert a marker here. NOW MEASURE THE PIECE FROM HERE. Now divide the piece into 2 front pieces and one back piece.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Work first row as follows: A. 4 over the first 12 dc, then work A. 5 over the next 15-15-21-24-30-33 dc (= 5-5-7-8-10-11 repetitions in width), A. 6 over the next 6 dc = 9-9-11-12-14-15 ch-spaces on first row. Now work as explained in the different sizes below:

SIZE S and M:
Continue back and forth until 4th row in A. 4 has been worked vertically. NOTE: Repeat 2nd and 3rd row in A. 5 and A. 6 vertically. 2 ch-spaces have been dec for neck mid front in both sizes.
Then repeat 3rd and 4th row in diagram A. 4 3-3 more times vertically = 5-5 ch-spaces dec in total for neck mid front and 4-4 ch-spaces (with 2 ch) remain for shoulder. Piece measures approx. 13-13 cm / 5" -5".

SIZE L, XL, XXL and XXXL:
Continue back and forth with ch-spaces, AT THE SAME TIME on next row dec ch-spaces for neck towards mid front and dec ch-spaces for armhole as follows:

DECREASE ARMHOLE:
On next row dec 1 ch-space for armhole – READ DECREASE TIP CH-SPACES. Repeat dec 0-1-2-2) more times = 1-2-3-3 ch-spaces dec in total for armhole.

DECREASE NECK:
When 4th row in A. 4 has been worked, 2 ch-spaces have been dec in size L, XL, XXL and XXXL. Then repeat dec for neck (i. e. 3rd and 4th row in A. 4) 3-3-3-4 more times = 6-6-6-7 ch-spaces dec in total for neck.

ALL SIZES:
Continue with ch-spaces as before but now work 5th and 6th row in A. 4 towards the neck until piece measures 16-17-18-19-20-21 cm / 6¼ ''-6¾ ''-7''-7½ ''-8''-8¼ ''. Turn and work 16-16-16-16-19-19 dc evenly over shoulder. Fasten off. Piece measures approx. 17-18-19-20-21-22 cm / 6¾ ''-7''-7½ ''-8''-8¼ ''-8¾ ''.

BACK PIECE:
Beg at armhole on right front piece and skip 4-6-6-6-6-8 dc for armhole. Work A. 7 (= 8 dc), A. 5 (= 3 dc) 16-16-19-21-25-26 times in width, work A. 6 (= 6 dc) = 19-19-22-24-28-29 ch-spaces on first row. Continue as explained in the different sizes below:

SIZE S and M:
Continue back and forth with pattern as shown on 2nd and 3rd row in A. 5 to A. 7 until piece measures 14-15 cm / 5½ " -6" – adjust so that next row is worked as 3rd row.

SIZE L, XL, XXL and XXXL:
Continue back and forth with pattern as shown on 2nd and 3rd row in A. 5 to A. 7, AT THE SAME TIME on next row bind off for armholes in each side inside 3 sts - READ DECREASE TIP CH-SPACES. NOTE: Work 3 tr instead of 3 dc in each side on the rows with dec (this is done to avoid tight edges). Repeat dec 0-1-2-2 more times (= 1-2-3-3 dec in total in each side) = 20-20-22-23 ch-spaces remain. Then continue with ch-spaces as shown on 2nd and 3rd row in diagram A. 5 to A. 7 until piece measures 16-17-18-19 cm / 6 1/4" -6 3/4" -7" -7½ " – adjust so that next row is worked as 3rd row.

Then continue as explained below in all sizes:
Work 1 dc in each of the first 3 dc and 4-4-4-4-5-5 whole ch-spaces (i. e. ch-spaces with 2 ch), work 1 dc in next dc, then work 24-24-26-26-26-28 dc evenly over the next 10-10-11-11-11-12 ch-spaces from previous row, work 1 dc in next dc, and 1 dc around next ch-space, continue with 4-4-4-4-5-5 whole ch-spaces (i. e. ch-spaces with 2 ch) and 1 dc in each of the outermost 3 dc. There are now 26-26-28-28-28-30 dc consecutively in the middle of back piece.
Then finish each shoulder separately. Turn, work 1 dc in each of the first 3 dc, then work as before over the 4-4-4-4-5-5 ch-spaces, work 1 dc in each of the first 3 dc of the 26-26-28-28-28-30 dc. Turn and work 16-16-16-16-19-19 dc evenly over shoulder. Fasten off.
Work the other shoulder the same way but reversed. Beg at the armhole, and work 1 dc in each of the outermost 3 dc, then work ch-spaces as before over the 4-4-4-4-5-5 ch-spaces, and 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc. Turn and work 16-16-16-16-19-19 dc evenly over shoulder. Fasten off.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
Beg at armhole on back piece and skip 4-6-6-6-6-7 dc for armhole. Work A. 7 (= 8 dc), A. 5 (= 3 dc) 4-4-6-7-9-10 times in width, finish with A. 8 (= 13 dc). Continue like this back and forth as on right front piece but reversed. Adjust according to right front piece.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew the shoulder seams tog. Sew one and one stitch neatly tog and make sure to avoid a tight seam. Fasten off.

EDGE AT THE BOTTOM:
Now work an edge at the bottom of vest as follows:
ROW 1: Fasten yarn with 1 sc and 3 ch in the first ch worked at beg of piece, work 1 dc in each of the next 3 ch (= band), then work * ch 2, skip approx. 1½ cm / ½ '', work 1 dc in next ch *, repeat from *-* along entire edge until approx. 1½ cm / ½ '' remain before the last 4 ch on row, work 2 ch and finish with 1 dc in each of the last 4 ch. There are now approx. 66-69-76-83-93-99 ch-spaces and 4 dc for band in each side - remember crochet info.
ROW 2: Work 1 dc in each of the first 4 dc, work ch 1, 1 dc around next ch-space, * ch 2, 1 dc around next ch-space * in every ch-space on row, and finish with 1 ch and 1 dc in each of the 4 dc for band.
ROW 3: Work 1 dc in each of the first 4 dc, work ch 2, skip 1 ch and 1 dc, * 1 dc around next ch-space, 2 ch *, repeat from *-* until 1 ch-space remains with ch 2, work 1 dc around this ch-space, ch 2, and finish with 1 dc in each of the 4 dc for band.
Repeat 2nd and 3rd row until piece measures 78-80-82-84-86-88 cm / 30¾ ''-31½ ''-32¼ ''-33''-33 7/8''-34 5/8'' in total (measured from shoulder) or to desired length. Fasten off.

TIES WITH TASSEL:
Cut 2 lengths of yarn of 90 cm / 35½ ''. Twine them until the resist. Thread one end through last dc-row worked before piece was divided for front pieces and back piece and place tie double so that it twines again. Tie a knot in the loose end. Repeat in the other side.
Then make a tassel in the end of each of the ties: Cut 14 strands of 24 cm / 9½ '', thread them through one end on one of the ties and distribute the ends so that they are even. Wind a strand several times around the tassel approx. 1 cm / 3/8'' from the top, to get a nice top and fasten the strand.
