Easy Crochet Fall Vest Beginner Friendly

[@VictoriaEAC]

Hello again! I have now made this waistcoat for my dad (95) and now making for my father in law (91). Now, as you can see, I also have one - LOVE IT! but also a great one for older gentleman who just want to keep cozy. It does NOT look like ladies' waistcoat (made sure buttons were on the correct side!) - just thank you again, Carrie for this wonderful inspiration for lovely older men in my life xx (I used to be MadamC, but my KZbin went all weird and had to create new account) x

[@Debbie2004]

I love wearing a vest in winter. Keeps my back nice and warm. Thank you for sharing this.🇨🇦

[@madamc3458]

I have just finished this wonderful waistcoat/vest. It is far lovelier than I imagined it would be. I used the 5mm hook, so it is very thick (perfect for days like today). Also, I made it in XL but ended up doing more decreases along the armhole - as I have fairly narrow shoulders and without doing this, the shoulders stuck out too far). Anyway, just wanted to say how very pleased I am and thank you x

[@Be8904]

How much yarn did you use please

[@madamc3458]

Me again! I have just adapted this wonderful patter in bulky yarn for super thick gilet. Stitch used was sc and hdc. I have used one of my originals of this pattern for measurements. It has worked out wonderfully on 12mm hook - thick and fab for chilly evenings about to start. Love waistcoats because cardigan sleeves can get in the way - this is a true body warmer. Thank you Carrie for the inspiration - couldn;t have done it without you xx

[@ramonacowman7409]

Cozy vest! Great layering piece! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

This is just perfect for some stash yarn I've had since last fall.🧶🍂 Thank you😊

[@fishfrenzy09]

thank you so much for this! i’m currently halfway through and the pattern alongside this video has been super easy and understandable! ❣️

[@jeanniewright2554]

Pretty vest! I especially like the pockets - who doesn’t always need more pockets?!

[@octaviaoctavia9234]

I absolutely love this vest! I am going to work on this

[@madamc3458]

Fabulous Gilet - great fit, very practical but so stylish. Great for walking dogs - or just keeping warm at home without baggy sleeves of jumpers getting in the way of washing up, etc xxx Thank you x

[@nicolemarie6273]

I love this pattern and will begin it soon. The small bust size is 42, and that's quite large for the petite woman I am making it for. How would I make this smaller? Bust size is 36. Thank you for the pattern, and especially the thorough tutorial. It's a very lovely vest!

[@alih7048]

Just love this gilet on the hook at the moment. I've made a few of your creations Carrie and everybody admires them. Thank you!

[@seroct2005]

Thank you so much for your teaching, so clear and so helpful ❤.

[@penneyburgess5431]

Lovely! Christmas present sorted! Couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

[@melodyteasley5218]

In the written pattern- you have decreased on both sides of the front panels- just like the back panel. I do not believe that was your intention LOL. Might want to correct that. As always, your work is awesome and I so appreciate your sharing your patterns! Thank you!

[@MellissaAspey]

Isn't that how your supposed to do the pattern? She said to decrease the front the same as the back.

[@MellissaAspey]

If you didn't decrease them the same, they wouldn't match up.

[@laurelgirard8475]

So nice! Would make an awesome cardigan!

[@juliakeats7242]

Aww I really like this ❤ thank you for sharing your talents with us all 💕💕

[@HeyCarrieCrochet]

You are more than welcome. Thank you so much for following along. Enjoy!!

[@melodied4314]

My suggestion for next project: batwing pullover sweater.

[@mrs_ana1236]

Oh yes please 🙏

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Yes I have been looking for a batwing sweater X

[@HeyCarrieCrochet]

Will definitely have to make that! Enjoy the rest of your weekend

[@masuganut2082]

Yes please!!!!!

[@nicolakibble]

❤ I would also love a batwing sweater please ❤❤❤

[@charlottemarti8639]

I love this vest and all your designs. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

[@meganfedoruk1437]

Yay, the long awaited vest!!! Thank you!!! 😊

[@sarabjvander209]

Hey Wonderful simple design. I 'm very very beginner how much time it took you to complete? & what you say how much time it will take for beginners to make it?

[@deborahjohnson7861]

Love it. Wonder if I shall add sleeves

[@elizabethbranthwaite7067]

Hi Carrie. Love this as does my niece 😂 so I have started making her one - was wondering if I could add arms in the same way as your other tutorials by laying out the vest and matching the center of a separately crocheted sleeve to the shoulder seam … 😊😊 hoping this will work 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@kt.redacted1401]

It is nearly impossible to find a vest pattern that isn't all mucked up with 'stuff'. Thank you so much for this pattern.

[@nannacoleman13]

Love this! Can't wait to fi ish some other projects to make this for me! Or, will I wait?!

[@ruthsasu6067]

Very, very nice! Subtle yet chic ❤

[@neerunaidoo7399]

Hi Carrie , missed your tutorials...l would like a calf length vest ( sleeve less cardi)

[@zeejones4152]

Ohh thank you been waiting for something like this 🤗. Can't wait to make it.

[@candiceanderson4618]

Lovely design ❤️ I have a quick question about the hook size? On the video you have a 5.5mm down but on the written pattern it says 5mm? Thank you

[@madamc3458]

ha ha, yes. I watched video and then went by my pattern. I am actually using a 5mm hook. I know my vest won't be flowing BUT, actually, it is PERFECT and thick for this weather. I am between large and XL but did the first few rows and measured up against a padded gilet I have and stuck with the XL stitch count x

[@omuhocrochet]

Wow 👌 very beautiful sweater design is 👍👍

[@rebekahdollar3208]

Got any more masculine patterns got a guy to make presents for yule?

[@HeyCarrieCrochet]

Watch this space. Very soon!!!

[@DenisEssiambre]

@@HeyCarrieCrochet very happy to hear this. Although this vest would work well for a man too

[@rebekahdollar3208]

I love your patterns and have made several sweaters thanks for the great work

[@susiesweetie4231]

Could you please tell me how to decrease front panels? I could't work it out ( have read the pattern ) as you only decrease one side unlike back panels. I 'm baffled. Thanks in advance.

[@sarapiburn2523]

Love it! Just subscribed also!💜💜💜

[@Анастасия-д3ф]

🤩😍Wow. Looks great

[@HeyCarrieCrochet]

Thank you

[@rumpanbuagun7096]

Thank you

[@debrabenware2982]

Love it!

[@dankahorvathova8244]

I love it xxx great vest xx thanks for all your great videos xxx

[@RaniSohail-mu6jq]

What to do with size medium

[@linedemers7493]

what is the measurement of the back panel?

[@dankahorvathova8244]

I would love as your next project vest but like winter fitted vest top....hmm....I hope you know what I mean 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@chrissy-ef9to]

I’m so sorry but I got confused a little… when you started, was that the back panel you were crocheting or the front hand panel?

[@MeSlavka]

Me too, 13 stiches for back panel?

[@jillg5934]

​@MeSlavka 13 stitches then do that for 63 rows and you have the bottom band of the back panel. Then turn the band and start the stitches across the band. 63 of them for the small size

[@EileenPotts-w8l]

Hello I would love to try this, how many stitches would I need for a size 16/18 ? X

[@DottyGran247]

It’s lovely, thanks for the tutorial - added to my “to do” list 👍x

[@HeyCarrieCrochet]

Thank you so much

[@BADRUBULDURA]

☺☺☺☺

[@dazedfiberarts]

Really wish you showed how to make the front as it isn’t exactly like the back as you don’t decrease on one side. Not beginner friendly imo.

[@bismillah3390]

yesss i agree 😢

[@bushraameshall]

Goodwill

[@gloriatorres3596]

👌🏻😃💓

[@machi3663]

DOES ANYONE KNOW?? For the written pattern, are sized like women's sizes or unisex? I'm trying to make this for my dad and he usually wears Large, but is the pattern to fit a lady only? Should I make the XL instead? 🥲🥲🥲

[@marie-dominiqueryckmanns2473]

Did you get an answer? I would love to make a size M-L for my boyfriend and have the same questions 🙂

[@machi3663]

@@marie-dominiqueryckmanns2473 not really, I think I tried looking at measurements, but just decided to go for the XL since I figured it'll be better if it fits him oversized instead of too small 🥲

[@deboraharcher9128]

For some reason this is not playing

[@irem6548]

Turkish subtitles please. Thanks 👏

[@lizv.418]

Carrie, this vest is gorgeous & it looks great on you!!🤗😍
