Crystal, I love that you made a "mistake" but left it in. It shows me that even an advanced crocheter can make a mistake. This actually motivates me! I usually let my mistakes discourage me, but no more! You're a great teacher.

I am so glad I saw this tutorial. Both my dad and my partner like wearing vests and I never had the courage to try it. Thank you so very much. Alsso I found easier to spave the stitches around d the arm Nd neck by marking 6 equal spaces which gave me 5 stitches in between the markings

[@wendyscott4849]

It is lovely Crystal , I know how much work goes into making a piece of clothing let alone all the filming you do to bring us all these great tutorials , I appreciate you so much and just wanted you to know that , I for one am grateful and humbled by what you do for us . 😘

[@memmie1104]

I normally wouldn't think of crocheting a man's vest because my husband wouldn't wear it. But I believe my stepfather would since I've seen him wear them. I'll have to make the back straight across like the ones he wears. This will be a great surprise for him. Thank you for showing me how to make it. Blessings!

[@teresaames972]

I've been looking for advanced patterns. I got board about 3 years ago. All the videos I seem to find are beginner or easy. I need a challenge. I like the way this vest looks. I'm going to try and make it for my husband. 😊

[@jacquelinecanales8452]

I am almost to the arm reduction, You are such a GREAT teacher , I have done other projects with you like the cup with saucer , they came out beautiful! Also the puff stitch purse/bag and is all on how you teach, you make it so anyone can crochet and get beautiful results just because you really know how to teach and make it easy for us to make any project.Thank you! Thank you!,thank you!!!

[@006pennylane]

Crystal This vest tutorial is another winner. Your husband makes a great model! Would you please make one for small boys -there aren't a lot of patterns for boys, my grandson is six and a half years old and already fashion conscious: he would look adorable in a V-neck cabled vest/tank top/sleeveless V-neck sweater in your tutorial. This type of VEST is trending in the UK at least in the northern city where I live. Thank you for sharing, thank you {and your lovely husband} for being so kind. You are still at the top of my list of GREAT CROCHET TUTORS. I have followed you since you started making crochet bags. You have a gift for teaching crochet xxx

[@cenelson6484]

And even if you don’t know how to do FPDC and so forth, Crystals instruction is so clear that you’ll be advance in no time 🥰 very beautiful work as always. Can’t wait to make this for my dad 🥳

[@GoforthandKnit]

You are a amazing teacher, and this sweater vest is a amazing piece of art work....Thank you so much for all the time you put into the design, making and then filming a complete tutorial...

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you 😊

[@elviraobregon5225]

The sweater is beautiful love the stitch work and color choice. You are an excellent teacher and your instructions are easly to follow. Wish i had a supply of yarn so i could crochet it. But i still view the video from beginning to the end. At 70 I still love to learn. Thank you for the tutorials. Stay safe and happy crocheting.

[@jenidouthit7980]

Chrystal this is gorgeous! Looks so good on mr bod. I have been crocheting since I was a teenager and I’m now 58 and I have never done cables. You make it look so easy and your such a great teacher and easy to follow! It hurts my arthritic hands so much to crochet which is why I taught myself to knit ( easier on the hands) but I may have to try this! I did make the cowl you made and did so so with my hands but I loved crocheting again . THANK YOU for your wonderful tutorials!!

[@memmie1104]

I finally finished the vest for my stepfather! I had to really work on getting the neck right because, for some reason, my cables ended up a row longer or shorter than yours. I wasn't about to change it because I had already made the solid back and it matched the front cables. The other thing I did differently is the neck and armholes. Instead of putting it on the fron, then on the back, I just did it all in one piece on each area, then stitched the seams. I'm going to take some pics but I don't know where to post them so you can see them. 😞 Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've learned just how easy it actually is to crochet this cable and I learned how to do decreased arm holes and a V neck. 🤗 Blessings!

[@penniedwards2738]

Wow! This sweater is so professional! But if you know all the stitches you can do it. And Crystal, you are a great teacher! In fact I learned how to make clothes from you!! Thank You so much for teaching us to crochet!!

[@Debbie2004]

Hi Crystal this vest is gorgeous I have never tried cables before. I have crocheted for many years but never did cables. This winter I think I may try with your help. So I have put this into my favourites. Thank you for a great tutorial. You are a awesome teacher.

[@rho4ofus]

This is wonderful Crystal, I am working on this sweater vest right now. You do an amazing job of teaching what to do at each step. I can tell the amount of work that goes into your video tutorials and it is truly appreciated.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you so much!

[@kimasp7482]

Well look how proud and handsome Mr BOD looks in his vest! Sharp dressed man right there!

[@lori_li]

I've been crocheting avidly for the past year or so now and have been wanting to learn cables-- this tutorial is a godsend, thank you!!

[@rekhanair3862]

Thank you so much for your proper guidance.I am a beginner but i could easily make it bcoz of your clear instructions...I am really proud that I could make it.Thank you

[@f3721]

So I finished this vest today but I made some alterations: I used a 3.25 hook, made the shoulderparts longer so the armholes wouldn't be too small and shortened the body of the vest. Because of the yarn and hook I used there is some tension on the yarn wich makes the shoulder part look like overhanging shoulder pads but not in a good way. To make it look less awkward I would have refrained from increasing and just kept going with a lower stitch count. Also since my v neck is deeper from lengthening the shoulder parts it would've looked better with a third row of ribbing. I loved the tutorial and the instructions were very clear. I've only crocheted headbands and simple small shoulder bags before but I was still able to follow this tutorial successfully. Me not being content eith the way my vest looks is the result of the alterations I've made, NOT of this tutorial. Thank you for this Tutorial. One day I might attempt to crochet this vest again but with the alterations that I could've made to make it look more appealing to me:)

[@juditharrington3502]

I love to watch you crochet because it is so relaxing. You make everything look so effortless. I am a crochet novice but I am pretty good at filling a room with yarn 🙃

[@Victoria28057]

Gorgeous sweater vest!!❤ That's the type my husband likes. I think I'll do the back a flat panel when I'm ready to make it, after my mother-in-law poncho...after I'm done with my second baby blanket😩😆 Beginners excitement for projects. But I'm doing one at the time I don't want to overwhelm myself. Thank you Crystal for sharing this one and all your great creations on tutorials you're the best!!❤

This is incredible & looks great on your husband. Thank you for sharing your talents. I've learned so much watching you. You're my go to youtuber. 🥰

What happened to the video??? I was in the middle of working on it. I paused to get to the end of my row. When I hit play to go onto row 5, it was GONE!!! I couldn't find it anywhere. I was like OMG!!! Mr BAD put her video in that box now too!!!!! Glad to see it back again. Phew!!!! Thanks Crystal 😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊

[@KarenSchroder]

Great tutorial! In the beginning I found that color coding with a stitch marker helped me to remember if I was doing row 6, 7, 8, or 9. Especially since I only do a couple rows a night. I found you very easy to follow, and fun to listen to. Thanks for a great pattern!

[@ZoraidaCastro]

I never thought I’d be able to do cables but I’m doing it. I’m on row #12. You are an AWESOME teacher!!!

I’m not a fan of post stitches , but you make it look so simple , and your instructions are so clear ❤ It makes me want to try this 😂

[@monicarivas5160]

Love the vest!! When I look at some off your patterns I think they are going to be hard to make but when I do them the are say because you explain and show your stitches!! I've told all my friends that crotchet to watch your channel. Love you Crystal.

Ok I am super glad you did I this tutorial. I have been wanting to make a cable sweater but all I’ve seen is knitted ones.... I don’t knit. I’m so going to make a cable sweater for my 13 year old. He would look awesome! Thanks for the tutorial💕🧶

This came out beautifully! I think I’ll do it straight across the back and add sleeves... maybe. I’m in New England, winters are harsh lol. Love it, thank you so much, Crystal! 💕

If you do will you let me know what you did for sleeves?

Thanks Crystal, I've never tried cables before but I like it. I might try to use you tutorial to make a women's crew neck sweater with one set of cables in the middle. If I cannot figure out the correct number of stitches for my size, I will wait for you to make the tutorial. You are a great teacher.

[@jo6111]

i'm a total beginner (i've only made a few plushies/amigurumi) but i'll still try to do it, i'm so excited!! i just watched the first 30min because I can't do it rn but it is so clear, I can understand everything thank you!!

[@mayajayasundara]

Your teaching skills are awesome and you think of giving us the best so that after watching your videos we are tempted to start one. Only thing I miss is not being able to do a small size without the stitch count given. Tried using a smaller 3.5 crochet hook but still it is too big for my grandson who is a teenager. Any suggestions? Thank you anyway! Bless you!

[@lizvigario7686]

Very long video but worth watching great job Crystal I never could do cables and I have been crocheting for years you made them so easy to do thank you

Thanks Crystal it is so nice. Thank Mr BOD FOR modeling with a dress shirt and no hat even though it isn't his style. We appreciate it.

Hi Crystal! I've been wanting a Christmas present to crochet for my husband. I really love the stitch work on this design. The cables make it a stunning piece! My only issue is that he wouldn't wear a vest. I'd like to turn this into a sweater by adding sleeves but I'm not sure of how to get the decreases correct as I'd be tapering the sleeve as well as making a cable go down the center of the outside arm. I could go with plain double crochets for the sleeves but that wouldn't look as nice. Would you ever consider doing a video tutorial on this modification of your original design? I'm sure others would like a men's sweater tutorial as well. There aren't many nice designs for men.
