PLEASE CHECK SIZE MEASUREMENTS!
I messed up some of the calculations and a lot of the size are one half size or full sizes smaller than I meant them to be. I have used a size guide to check what my size measure actually corresponds too. If you want it more on the more fitted size then follow the measurements for your usual size as is - so the first size written. But if you want a more relaxed/regular fit, go with your closest size from the brackets.
XS (like a regular XS/S) - 40.5cm width, 44cm length
S (reg S)- 42cm width, 46cm length
M (reg S/M)- 46.5cm width, 46cm length
L (reg M/L)- 51cm width, 48cm length
XL (reg L)- 55.5cm width, 50cm length
XXL (reg XL)- 60cm width, 52cm length
XXXL (reg XXL)- 64.5cm width, 52cm length
Width is from underarm on one side to the other side with the vest laying flat. It does have so stretch so will stretch further if it’s tighter.
The length is from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the vest including the ribbing.
Are these the final bust measurements?
@@razanhassan909 hi! This is the measurement from under one arm to the other side under the arm with the vest being flat. But it does also have some stretch so it will stitch bigger than that if it’s tighter
@@StephanieTashi thank you so much this was so helpful!
@@razanhassan909 no problem 🥰🥰
I loved it! The instructions are super clear (would say that they are even a little bit too detailed for my personal taste haha), and I absolutely adore the design! I made the xs size and was pleased that it had the same a little roomy fit on me as the s size on the photos; already got a lot of compliments wearing it🌷 thank you so much
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like it 😊 haha yes sometimes I feel like I talk way to much but I’m paranoid about missing things for those who need it! But 100% agree for my personal taste too! 🥰🥰🥰
Soooo cute! I'm starting it right now! So nice to have the number of row, and cm! I really like it that way, it's easier for me to adapt if needed!
So happy I've found your video! ❤
Yay I’m so glad you like it 🥰🥰🥰 I hope it’s helpful!
@@StephanieTashi very helpful! I'm almost done with the back panel! Nice easy (for me) holyday project 🥰
Hi! I finished this vest today (yay).This was my first crochet project and I wanted to thank you for this video. It was very clear and easy to follow. The cm measurements really helped, as I was using a different yarn and hook size. I look forward to following your other tutorials in the future :)
Yay I’m so glad you liked it! and thank you so much! I’m so happy the measurements helped! 🥰🥰🥰
This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much! 💕
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰 I’m glad you like it!

Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this video. Last night I finished this vest and it is so pretty. This was the first time crocheting a vest but it turns out okay, not as neat as yours but I am happy with it. I am going to try your V-necked vest. Thanks again❤
Yay I’m so glad you like it! And it’s not the easiest vest for your first one so that’s really impressive! 🥰🥰🥰

I've been trying to do this for two days now. Haven't even finished the first shoulder yet. It's so difficult for me to keep up with all the rows and stiches and everything!! I think I'll start again tomorrow
Oh no! Sorry that it’s confusing for you. I have written patterns pinned on the comments for some of the sizes if that helps! But let me know if you are making a different size or have any questions 🥰
Hi, thank you for this easy to follow pattern so far :) I am coming to the end of the front panel, but I think I've done something wrong... When I finish the second shoulder part, I end up at the top rather at the bottom, so I'm not sure how to start the under arm part without adding another row to get back down to the bottom. Hopefully that makes sense - do you know what I could do to get back on track without having to restart the whole front panel again?
I’m so glad you like it! But no worries I’m sure we can fix it 😊 I can think of two options but the first would involve some unravelling. If you want to do that you could just unravel until you get back to where you started the increases for the shoulder and add one more row to the straight section across the front, then continue with the shoulder portion from there. The other option which involves no unravelling would be to put slip stitch from the top of the shoulder to where you would stitch up to from the bottom. So you’d put in the stitch marker from the bottom and then slip stitch to it. Once you reach it, you’d go back to the regular stitch pattern to the end, turn, and come back up to the top of the first proper stitch you did. Then when you turn, you’ll need to put a slip stitch into the first 3 stitches then continue with the regular stitches and repeat that version of the decreases to the end of the panel. By the time to stitch on the ribbing for the arms I don’t think the slip stitches would be noticeable 😊 I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 🥰🥰
It was kind of confusing but after two weeks I finished the vest!!!! Thanks for the pattern and the tutorial ♡
Sorry about that! It was a bit confusing for me to explain too 😅 glad you like it!!
Thank you so much for the super cute pattern! Quick question: When you put the number of rows (ex. 31 rows for the straight back section) do you start counting the rows from the row that you just showed? Is this question making sense lol? I'm just trying to clarify which row is the first row I am counting.
No problem! And your question makes sense haha - sorry that it was confusing in the video! That’s the number of rows for the entire section, so including the rows you’ve already done. It should be 31 rows in total 😊 please let me know if you have any more trouble! 🥰
Hi! Loving this pattern so far, just curious - how long is the finished length for a medium? I'm working on it now and I feel like it may be too short on me but not 100% sure. Hoping you can help? Thanks! 🥰
Hi! Thanks so much 🥰 the full length of the medium from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the ribbing should be around 48cm 😊 if you’ve already done a lot you could make the ribbing at the bottom a bit wider if you want it to be longer. But if you’re starting over you can add stitches to the foundation chain but just make sure to add stitches in groups of 3 😊
I hope this helps 🥰
Great tutorial! Thanks a lot. I have a question, why did you use 100% acrylic yarn? Could it also be a combination with wool?
Thanks so much! Yes you could definitely make it with wool or a wool blend 😊 I only used this yarn because it was left over from something else and I didn’t want to waste it. If I was buying yarn again specifically for this vest, I would definitely consider wool 🥰
Hi I was just wondering if it made a difference if you used a different yarn to the stitch count? For example using cotton yarn or 4 ply? Thanks x
Hi! Yes it would make a different to use 4 ply cotton yarn. The cotton may not be as much of an issue especially if it’s a cotton blend but if it’s pure, it won’t have as much stretch as wool or acrylic and will probably be heavier. It could still work though - just depends what you are going for. And for 4ply, I’ve used 10ply so using the stitch counts will end up with a smaller vest than the size I’ve made. If you want to use 4 ply yarn I would ignore the stitch counts and use the cm/inch measurements instead 😊 I hope this helps 🥰🥰
Hello! I would like to ask if the sizing you listed is also applicable for men’s sizing since I plan on making it as a gift.
Hi! I used a women’s sizing chart to do the sizes so I’m not sure what the men’s equivalent would be. I’ve pinned a comment that has the finished garment measurements for the different sizes so if you can find a men’s sizing chart you hopefully can work out the closest men’s size. It’s also a bit cropped so you may need to add length by making the foundation chain a bit longer 😊
I love this video! I want to make one but with 4mm hook and yarn so is there anything in particular I need to do different?
Thanks so much! I don’t think that would affect anything 😊 you’ll just have to follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch counts! If anything looks weird let me know and I’ll try to help but I can’t think of any other adjustments you’d need to make 😊
Brilliant thank you so much! X
Thank you! For a vest that goes from my shoulders to my waist (I’m a UK size 8) roughly how long does my initial chain need to be in cm’s please? Want to make sure it’s long enough 😄
@@EveSulley-yc8db I’m also a size UK 8 and it comes just past my waist so if you made that first foundation chain a little shorter that should work! Mine is 16 cm so maybe about 14cm but I couldn’t say for certain - I do have a shortish torso so it will depend on your body. If you wanted it to be exact you could measure from about 10cm under your armpit to your waist to work out how long you want your vest, then take 5cm off that account for the ribbing. Hopefully this helps 🥰
Can you add how much yarn your used on the model made not in grams as this can vary depending on the weight maybe the metres or yards would be helpful to estimate how much to buy
hello! i'm confused as to what you said on 1:07. To change the length do i have to add up to 24 chains since its divisible by 3?
oh i think i got it! lol
No problem 😊 let me know if you have any issues!
I'm doing my own row count. I need 2 more rows to reach the correct measurements for the increases for the arm on the back. Would I continue to add increases or just do two increases like you did?
Actually maybe this is the better question, for the under arm increases, the cm & inches measurement, is that the entire piece across the rows or the height of the increases? Thank you!
Hi! I think it would be better to keep doing increases until you get to the measurement 😊 and the measurement is the width of the increase section
Hii
I have done first 5 rows for size L but but at row 5 I have ended up with slip stitch so what next? As you said we have to opposite !?
Hi! Yeah unfortunately I couldn’t work out a way to do the different sizes with identical stitch patterns 😞 so basically when I do a half double you’ll have to do a slip stitch and visa versa for that section. Continuing to follow the stitch pattern you have been doing but that will be the opposite stitches to what I’m doing. If it’s confusing I can write that section out as a written pattern? 🥰
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern and work. It is easy in some parts and confusing in others 🥲. I follow the cm measurements and allow me to ask you: at first you said it should be 2.5 cm and then 3 cm, you mean the total should be 5.5 cm? Or 3 cm from the very first row. I hope my question is understandable 😅
Hi! Don’t worry your question makes sense 😊 but im not 100% which part of the video it is about. I’ve tried to search for but I wanted to check where abouts it is- Can you send a timestamp?
So sorry that it is confusing! I will try to help as much as I can 🥰
Thank you for replying ❤
At 5:14 and 8:44. And is it ok if the row count is different from yours?
@@Ksmirkdya oh yes! Each section the cm measurement is added onto the sections before. So the first section is 2.5cm and then the next section is 3cm wide but if you are measuring from the very start of panel it’s a total of 5.5cm 😊 so just keep adding each time.
And yep that’s totally fine if your row count is different if you are following the measurements!
Please let me know if you have any other questions 🥰
@@StephanieTashi Thank you! I finished it and it looks great.
@@Ksmirkdya yay that’s great 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Merry Christmas!. I was hoping to confirm with the back panel decrease when you say its 3 rows, does that mean that i end up at the bottom so that my total number of stitches are still a multiple of 3? Or am i doing 3 paired rows to get me back up to the top before i go across 😅. Sorry if this question is confusing.
Merry Christmas 🎄that’s not a confusing question at all! Sorry the video was confusing! It is a total of 3 rows and yes you will end at the bottom with a multiple of three still 😊 or one and a half paired rows if that make more sense! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for the speedy reply. 🙏
@@Nino4eva you’re so welcome!! 😊
16:56 for the back panel. How did you finish the 27th row with a hdc? No matter how I count I finish on sc! Where did you start counting from? Was your first row hdc?
I cannot work it out either! What did I do! I think it should have ended on slip stitches. I must have miss counted my rows I'm so sorry! if you want to be able to follow the stitch pattern in the video for the next bit you could take two rows off or add two rows and that should bring you up to the half double crochets. You could measure that section if it's slightly under 20cm add two rows or if it's over remove two rows. Or you could continue with where you are up to but doing the opposite stitch for the next sections.
I'm so sorry I messed that up! I wish I could edit videos once they're up
lol no worries that’s exactly what I was going to do but I went crazy last night counting in my head and no matter how I counted I always ended up on the slip stitch
I will measure it once I’m close to the 27th stitch whether I need to add 2 more rows or reduce 2 rows. Thanks for your reply!
Hello! Lovely pattern and its one i want to start with right away, but ive noticed that the cms given for the sizes dont match up correctly with the final size. Is this a calculation error on my end or should i significantely size up?(the cms for sixe xxxl match up the final given size for size L for reference).
Thank you for your efforts with this amazing pattern regardless🧡🧡🧡
Omg you are right! How did I do that 🤦♀️ I think I only added half the measurement I was supposed add to each size!
I will update the pinned comment with the size it will actually end up being and add the measurements for bigger sizes. Was there a particular size you wanted to make? I’ll make sure I add that size equivalent 😊 thank you so much for letting me know!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi thank you for much for caring! I wanted to make one that measures about 65cm flat because I have one that fits me that is about 55cm and I wanted a slightly looser fit🧡
No problem at all!! I’m so sorry for the confusion! I’ve updated the measurements in the pinned comment to correspond with there more accurate finished size. The XXXL will measure about 65cm flat when finished so I think that would be the best size to go with from the video. It’s slightly larger than the standard chest measurement for a regular size XXL from a size chart. Hopefully this helps but please let me know if you have any other issues or questions 🥰🥰
Belíssimo!
🥰🥰🥰
Hi! I have a question, what counts as the straight section of the back panel? Is it the whole back or from wow the first increase? Thanks for the video
Hi 😊 the straight section is the part of the back panel with no increases or decreases. So once you’ve done your last decrease from the first shoulder until you do your first increase on the other side for the other shoulder. Let me know if that doesn’t make sense 🥰
@@StephanieTashi that’s what i thought but when I’m Done with 27 rows on the straight section of the back panel I finish up with a slip stich and not half double crochets like you (like you show in 17:23). I don’t understand what i’m doing wrong haha. Thanks for answering btw
@@StephanieTashi Or should i have counted 27 rows from the first increase on the left shoulder? I wish I could sen you a picture to show you what i mean it would have been easier haha.
@@9412rafaella that's so weird! is the stitch you are up to when you do the first non-decrease row in the straight section of the back panel the same as mine? I'm not really sure what would be causing the difference but it wouldn't make a huge difference to the pattern if you did one row less or more than what you have to make it even. If you measure the section and compare it to my measurements that would help to work out if you could take a row or add a row. If it helps you can send a pic to my instagram - it's stephtashi_handmade
@@StephanieTashiyes it’s the same, that’s why i’m confused haha! Thank you for your insta, I just wrote to you there
Will it be the same result with thinner yarn ?
Hi! The pattern will still look the same but it will make the vest smaller. If you use a thinner yarn you can follow the cm/inch measurements instead of the stitch counts to make sure it fits. Or you could make a couple of sizes bigger than you you need if you prefer stitch counts 🥰🥰
Hi.... I am a little bit confused about swapping between different and same rows.....is the pattern like this....one row of different and the other row of same
Hi! Sorry that it’s confusing! But yes that correct 😊 if one row finishes on a half double crochet then the next row would start with the half doubles so the same stitch. Then the next row would be putting slip stitches into those half doubles and the following row would be the doing the same stitch again with the slip stitches into the previous rows slip stitches 🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi Tysm💜💜💜💜
I am making size M and right now I am making back panel. I did 6 shoulder rows and then i decreased just like in the video. In the video it says that i should make 29 rows for size M. I am a bit confused with "back panel straight section". Does that mean i have to make 29 rows in the section where i decreased or in the section where you crocheted only 4 rows. I am sorry for confusion . I would appreciate any help. Thank you!
So sorry that that part is confusing! You’ll need to do 29 rows from the first row you did with no decreases to the last row you’ll do with no increases. The decrease increased sections on the shoulder are separate so this is just the section across the back with no increases or decreases. Please let me know if that doesn’t make sense 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your help! So, if i got it right , after i decreased two times , i need to make one row and then make 29 more rows? I am sorry if a had grammar mistakes i live in Croatia.
In my country there is only 6 ply acrylic thread at most. and the other thread, at most 8 ply, is also milk cotton thread. Is it possible?
The yarn that I’m using is the equivalent of medium weight or worsted weight yarn if that helps! Pretty much any yarn that suggests a hook size between 5mm-6.5mm should work similarly to mine 😊 hopefully this helps but let me know if you have any other questions 🥰🥰
Will it affect the results if I use thread with a different ply than yours?@@StephanieTashi
@@sharlamartizar916 yeah it would affect the size of the vest. If you are using a different weight yarn to me, you can use the cm and inch measurements instead of the stitch counts. I made a mistake with some of the measurements in the video though so check the pinned comment for update measurements 🥰🥰
Do you have a written pattern for this? I’m at the end of the back panel and my stitches don’t match with yours.
So you always end up with a half double crochet where you have put the stitch marker for the decrease. But I sometimes end up with a slip stitch. I’m very very confused
I think I realised I made a mistake in the video on the second decrease, I think I did a hcd into the last three stitches going back up but it should have been slip stitches. It should be slip stitches going from the bottom up as the last 3 stitches and half double crochets going down as the first 3 stitches.
I have written that section out as a pattern so hopefully that helps! The first row is the first row of the decrease section. Please let me know if you have any trouble.
Row 1: mark the 33rd stitch from the bottom, (ss into next three stitches, hdc into following three stitches) x 6, ss into next 3 stitches (including stitch 33), chain 2 and turn (33)
Row 2: (hdc into next three stitches, ss into following three stitches) x 6, hdc into remaining 3 stitches, chain 2 and turn (33)
Row 3: (hdc into next three stitches, ss into following three stitches) x 5, don’t stitch into the last 3 stitches, chain 2 and turn (30)
Row 4: (hdc into next three stitches, ss into following three stitches) x 5, chain 1 and turn (30)
Row 5: (ss into next three stitches, hdc into following three stitches) x 4, ss into the next 3 stitches, don’t stitch into the last 3 stitches, chain 2 and turn (27)
Row 6: (hdc into next three stitches, ss into following three stitches) x 4, hdc into remaining 3 stitches, chain 2 and turn (27)
Row 7: (hdc into next three stitches, ss into following three stitches) x 4, hdc into remaining 3 stitches (27)
You are so kind. Thank you so much!
I have one more question. So for the back panel where we crochet 27 rows from the shoulder piece where exactly are you counting from?
Because if starting from the shoulder where we just finished the decrease is one then the 27th row will end in the opposite end and not the same end as the shoulder. Unless I’m counting it wrong
you'll need to count from the first row you do with no decrease which should be going from the bottom of the vest to the top and should end with a hdc.
I just replied to your other comment though and I'm not sure if you already worked this bit out :)
Maybe i need more sleep or a cup of strong coffee, but i am confused and the video is only up to row 4 of back panel. I'm sure its me, so I'll watch this section again and again and again until i get the sequence of the rows.
I’m so sorry it’s confusing! If it would be any help I can write out that section of the pattern if you are using the stitch counts 😊 what size are you making?
@@StephanieTashi I'll be making a Large and with an additional rep of the pattern for a little extra length. Thank you. You are so kind. I'm sure it's me because other commenters were having no problem.🌹🌹
@@melodied4314 Perfect! I'll be able to write that up tomorrow - sorry for the delay. Just to make sure, did you add 6 stitches to the length? to be the additional rep or three stitches? It was honestly a difficult pattern for me to explain haha so I'm sure it's not just you!
Hi! I have the pattern for the under the arm section :) Hopefully you added 6 stitches but I can adjust if not! Please let me know if you have any questions. I can keep going with the pattern too!

I made a mistake but cannot find my error :/
How many rows should there be before we start with the increases of the back panel? I did everything like you did but I don’t end on half doubles before the first increases?
My rows (with the starts) are:
1) 22 loose chains
2)slip stitches
3) half double
4) half double
5) slip
6)slip
Pls help 😅
Hi! Which size are you making? Some of the sizes will end up on the opposite stitch pattern to mine at points so maybe that’s what it is! The process for doing the stitches will stay the same but you’ll just have to do the opposite stitch to what I do 😊
Im so sorry that that was confusing in the video!
If that’s not the issue though let me know and I’ll see if I can help! 🥰🥰
@@StephanieTashi hi, I‘m making a size small, so I should do everything exactly the way you did. I can’t find my mistake
@@valerieschwarz3887 oh I only do 3 rows before the increases, 4 if you count the chains. So
1) chains
2) slip stitches
3) half doubles
4) half doubles
And then increases on the next row 😊 does that fix it?
@@StephanieTashi ah yes, I understand. I was confused because you said „continue until you have this many rows“ so I thought u had to add three rows
Thanks a lot 🫶🏼
@@valerieschwarz3887 so sorry that was confusing! I should have said that many rows in total 😑 but glad it’s sorted now 🥰🥰🥰
I was wondering why this was so confusing, there are no finished garment sizes so you can decide which one to follow. Although the pattern repeat was clear to me, it could be confusing for beginners. Might be good to first go over the whole process for each section and then go into it. The increase description was also confusing too.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. I had never thought of adding the finished garment measurements before but I think that’s a great idea. I’ve added the measurements to a pinned comment now so hopefully that helps. Summarising the sections before starting is also a good idea- I will try to incorporate that! Sorry that the increase section is confusing but that was best way I could explain it. If you have any questions I’d be happy to write out that section as a written pattern or explain it further. And I also agree that it’s a bit complicated for beginner so I probably wouldn’t be recommending it to them. Thank you again for your feedback - I will definitely try to take it on for my future videos 😊
are there printed instructions
