Instructions
Step 1
Tie back:
Cast on 69 sts, tie 2 cm with 1x1 elastic. Close all loops. Crochet the edge of the elastic to make 69 double crochets. Next, knit with a pattern according to the scheme:
Step 2
The pattern is based on embossed double crochets. They are facial and purl. Knitting them is not difficult at all. Look closely at the drawing and repeat the steps shown on it:
Step 3
Continue knitting the back. At a height of 23 cm from the beginning of the fabric for the armholes, leave 8 loops on both sides untied. Next, knit straight. When the back is about 38 cm high, close the hinges.
Step 4
Link before:
Begin to knit in front just like the back. At a height of 23 cm, also leave 8 loops untied for the armholes, as on the back.
Step 5
Also, at a height of 23 cm, start making a V-neck. To do this, leave the middle loop on the front untied. Then continue to knit in front, decreasing on both sides of this loop in each row 12 times, one loop at a time. Finish knitting at a total height of 38 cm.
Step 6
Gather the details and tie the inlay (or, in other words, the edging) of the neckline:
Sew one shoulder seam. Pull up all stitches around the neckline on the needles, including the middle loose stitch. Bake: Tie 6 rows with 1x1 elastic. At the same time, knit on both sides of the middle loop in each front row, 2 sang together with the purl, and in each purl row - 2 loops together with the front ones.
Step 7
Sew the second shoulder seam. Sew the neck tape.
Step 8
Tie the armholes:
Pull up all stitches on the knitting needles around the edges of each armhole. Tie 4 rows with 1x1 elastic. Close all loops according to the canvas pattern.
Step 9
Sew the remaining seams. Seal off the ends of the threads. Wash the product with hair shampoo and rinse in citric acid water. So the product will gain increased elasticity and softness. A stylish and cozy vest for your baby is ready! When making the product, this pattern will help you:
