Instructions
Follow these simple steps to crochet the openwork seedlings model baby vest:- Start by creating a foundation chain that is a multiple of 6 + 1. For example, you could chain 25 stitches.
- Single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Then chain 2, skip 2 chains, and single crochet in the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the row.
- Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet in the first stitch, chain 2, and double crochet in the next stitch. Then chain 1, skip the chain-2 space from the previous row, and double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row.
- Chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet in the first stitch, then chain 2 and single crochet in the next chain-1 space. Then chain 1, skip the next chain-2 space, and single crochet in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern across the row.
- Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet in the first stitch, chain 2, and double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Then chain 1, skip the next chain-2 space, and double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern across the row.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your work is the desired length for the back of the vest.
- For the front of the vest, work until the armholes are reached. Then, at the beginning of each row, chain 7 and skip the first 7 stitches. Continue with the pattern until the front pieces are the same length as the back piece.
- Join the front and back pieces together at the shoulders using single crochet stitches.
- To create the armholes, single crochet around the armhole openings. Then, work the same pattern as in step 3 to create the edging for the armholes.
- Finally, add a button or tie closure to the front of the vest as desired.
