Crochet Pentagon Vest Pattern
The vest is not only a fashion statement but also a rewarding project for crocheters of all skill levels, with clear instructions to guide you through each step.
Tip:
Use a mix of vibrant and neutral yarns to create a balanced yet captivating look that pops!
Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook (size used in the video isn’t mentioned, but it’s recommended to match the hook size with your yarn)
- Yarn
- Magic ring technique
Pattern Instructions:
Pentagon Creation:
- Start by making a magic ring.
- Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet throughout the project).
- Place 1 double crochet in the ring, chain 1.
- Place 2 double crochets, chain 1. Repeat this from three more times inside the ring.
- Pull your magic ring closed, slip stitch to the top of the chain 3.
- Slip stitch in the next double crochet, and slip stitch in the first chain 1 space. This will give you a small pentagon shape with five groups of two double crochets.
Increasing Rounds:
- Chain 3 then double crochet in the same chain 1 space, chain 1, and add 2 double crochets in the same chain 1 space.
- Chain 1, and perform an “increase” which is defined as two double crochets, chain 1, and two double crochets all into the next chain space.
- Repeat these increases in each of the chain 1 spaces around the pentagon.
- Slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 to complete the round.
Repeating for Size:
- Repeat the last round, continually increasing at each point of the pentagon until you reach the desired size for your vest.
- For a size small, you’ll need six rounds, with instructions provided in the pattern to customize for other sizes. Each pentagon should be at least one-quarter of your bust measurement.
- Create three pentagons for the back arrangement, and two pentagons for the front.
Vest Assembly:
- Assemble the back by putting one pentagon with a point facing down and two pentagons above it with points facing up.
- Seam the pentagons together using a mattress stitch or flat slip stitch (increase hook size to prevent bunching).
Front Pentagons and Straps:
- After the last round of the front pentagons is completed, extend one of the points to create straps.
- Seam the front pentagons to the back pentagons at the shoulders.
Final Edging and Straps:
- Single crochet around the entire vest.
- When reaching the front points, create a chain and go down that chain for the straps.
- Finish the single crochet edging around the vest.
