I remember making this when I was a young mother! I wore that vest a lot. Thank you for this repeat. I will be making another :)
That is awesome Donna! I am hearing that more and more from people, that they had similar back when or used to make them! It was a fun pattern =) Thanks so much!
Who do you ask for help
Omg, love this, my grandmother made me one years ago in multi colors of pink,blue,white.loved it, and I wanted to make one. Thank you so much.
Nonna M that's wonderful! I thought it was a gem of a find myself! My pleasure 😊💗
I started with my vest this morning. Tks for the pattern tutorial🥰
I had a pattern book that had this design in it. I made one to wear with my short skirts in the late 60's. I wish I still had the booklet.
I love this and I will be making this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Dora! It was actually pretty fun to work up 😊
thank you for making this!
Working on this rite now I love it thanks for shareing.
My pleasure Sonia! 😊
love that pattern thank you
Awww.. thank you so much! I love it too! Was a definite bonus find! ♥
That's great thankyou
I used 550meters of Caron Cakes yarn for M size (hook size : 6.5/K) and it is very comfortable.
Hi i like that vest thanks
The hook is 6.5 mm for the rest of the world.
I think I’m going to make this with some ecru cotton yarn by Lily’s Sugar and Cream. I might use a bigger hook to make a bigger size. Thank you ❤️
Edit: actually I think if I add more granny squares to start, that should work! Also, I might do the join as you go trick rather than sewing them together.
How many granny squares did you end up making? I need a bigger size too
Can I use regular knitting worsted? How many skeins (oz.) would I need? Thanks much!
Hi Jerri, you could but I'm not sure of the amount needed for a different type of yarn. I did see a comment in here from another yarn crafter that this amount was used, I believe that was for a large: Using 4 Premier Sweet Rolls 5oz / 245yds each. I hope that helps you? Sorry... Have a great day!
What is the gauge for this pattern?
Great video but can you tell me how much yarn I need for a large vest? I didn't see it anywhere in the pattern. Thanks
Hi Dorothy! The tan/brown one I made with 2 Bernat pops. That again is a medium and didn't allow me enough after to border the entire vest so I bordered the top around neck and left the rest with the other edging. The one in the video I used 2 of the Red Heart Love then I used 1 skein of Caron simply soft for the granny squares. I'm not sure what would be required for the small or large sizes. Thank you! =)

I can't seem to pull up video of red 70s tie front vest
I can't seem to bring up or play the red vest video. 70s style
Can you tell us how many grams of yarn did you use
Hi can you please tell me the measures for xl and 2xl indian sizes
Hi Sirisha! If you look in the description of the video, you will see that I have marked out many times you want to repeat for each size ending with a large. So for each larger size, you would maybe want to work one more repeat than the size Large, in the rounds I have marked in that description area. I hope that makes sense?
Hi Colleen Hays. Thanks for the immediate response. This would help me.
My pleasure Sirisha!
Thanks colleen hays for the tutorial.. i am half way through and it turned out to be really a nice project. Will be finishing that by tmrow.
And can you tell me what will be the best crochet gift for my husband?
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry Sirisha! I am just seeing your comment. I hope everything worked out well for you and I wish I had seen this sooner to offer some suggestions for your husband. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and Happy New Year! ♥ ( Just an idea if you are still looking for a gift... scarf/hat sets are always nice, and of course, if you have time for it, a nice crochet throw is a fantastic gift for a man!) in my opinion ;)
How many granny squares for a large size? 11 is what I'm thinking 🤔
I dislike the V back. Please give instructions for a solid back.
