Patroon : free crochet pattern colourfull baby vest
This vest fits a baby up to 1 year : the back width is 27-28 cm or 10,8-11 inches.
Crochet hook : 5 mm
Yarn : aran weight (I used Rico Creative Cotton)
Gauge : not important
Used stitches : chains (ch), half double crochet (hdc)
The cardigan is worked topdown, so you start at the neck part and work downwards, and
at a certain moment you separate the sleeves from the rest. The work is actually divided in
4 parts : first front part, sleeve 1, back part, sleeve 2 and second front part. Each part is
separated by or 3hdc in 1 opening or 2 x 2 hdc in 1 opening. (do not bother if you do not
understand it now, you will see it is very clear while crocheting)

- make 1 round of sc around the vest : 1sc in every stitch, and in the corners : 3sc in 1
stitch.
- buttonhole : choose on what side you want to make the buttonhole. I made the
buttonhole like this : ch 4 and skip 3 stitches.
- Finishing the sleeves : I decided to make 2 more rounds for the sleeves. Of course you
can also decide to make long sleeves. Attach yarn at bottom of arm opening with ch2,
make 1hdc between every stitch, all around arm opening, close round with slst. in second
ch. Ch2 and turn. Make 1 more round. Finally make 1 round of sc around arms.
- weave in all ends
- sew button on
- block your vest and allow to dry.
Finished!!! Enjoy your lovely colourfull baby vest!!!!
