Crochet Motif Flower Baby Vest
Materials:
- Yarns of various colors (specified in the pattern as you work through it)
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn choice
- Scissors
Pattern Overview:
- This pattern involves creating colorful crochet motifs that are combined to form a vest. Each motif features flower petals, framed with multiple layers of crochet stitches, in a variety of colors. Finally, the motifs are joined, and edges finished to complete the vest.
Motif Pattern:
Starting and First Layer:
- Create a magic ring.
- Chain 1, work 16 double crochets (DC) into the ring. Slip stitch to the first DC to join.
Second Layer (Change Color):
- Tie on a new color.
- Chain 2, work a DC in the same space, then work 2 DC in each stitch around for a total of 32 DCs.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first DC.
Creating Flower Petals:
- Change color.
- Petals are created by chaining 2, then working stitches into subsequent spaces to form a 'petal' shape.
- Repeat around to create 8 petals.
Add Third Color:
- Using a new color, begin at any petal.
- Work an SC around, adding more SCs in the spaces between the petals to form a scalloped edge.
- End by fastening off.
Leaf Pattern (Another Color Change):
- Change to green (or leaf color).
- Start with a slip stitch on any SC from the previous round.
- Chain 2, work 3 DCs, chain 2, and slip stitch into the first chain space to form a leaf.
- Continue this pattern around each SC edge to create a border of leaves.
- Finish and fasten off.
Joining Motifs and Finishing the Vest:
- Lay out motifs according to your vest design.
- Using a needle or crochet hook, join the motifs by their corners or sides as planned.
- Once joined, create a border around the vest (if desired) by chaining and SC around the edges.
- For the armholes and neck, ensure smooth edging by evenly spacing SC stitches.
- Add ties or embellishments as desired.
Completing The Vest:
- After joining all motifs and finishing the edges, you can add extra rows around the neckline or armholes for a cleaner finish.
- Consider creating a lace border along the hem or neckline for a decorative touch.
- Attach your finished ties by weaving through the edges at the front of the vest, allowing for adjustable closure.
Final Touches:
- Secure all loose ends with a needle, trimming excess.
- Block your vest if necessary to achieve the desired shape and size.
