Hello! I just finished this beautiful fur vest and I want to share how I made it and how you can make one yourself! Below you will find all required materials and step by step instruction with photos. I hope you enjoy this free vest pattern! No rabbits were killed in the making of it :)
Materials:
Yarn: Kartopu Flora 100% Acrylic (100 grams/230 meters) or any acrylic yarn you have – 2 skeins (size S)
YarnArt Rabbit (100 grams/90 meters) or Lion Brand Fun Fur Yarn – 4 skeins (size S)
Crochet Hook: 4 mm
Vest Size: S-…
Make a foundation chain. The number of chains depends on the size of your hips. You need to measure the hips and then chain in multiples 2 to desired length. I recommend to make the “base” of the vest a little bit wider and shorter than your size. The finished vest become longer because of the yarn weight.
Use this pattern for the “base” of the vest:
Row 1: dc in the 6th ch from the hook, * skip 1 ch, ch-1, dc in next ch, repeat from * to the end of the row
Row 2: ch-4, turn, * dc in next dc, ch-1, repeat from * to the end of the row
This is how the “base” should look like
Connect the shoulders to the back with sc
Now use fur yarn and work 1 dc in each ch-1 space this way
Make a row of dc around sleeves and front part
Finish off.
Beautiful vest. I would have never guessed it was crochet. Thank you for the free pattern:)
Thank you, Vicki :)
This is beautiful I would never have guest it was crochet ☺
hello, it’s really a wonderfull work, where did you buy this yarn : YarnArt Rabbit (100 grams/90 meters)
Hello Chantale. I’ve bought the yarn in the local shop.
Is this the entire pattern? Mine stopped at row 2 :(
I know! Hope someone writes back with the full pattern… This looks really fun to make!
The picture of the base has notes on it that should help with finishing the pattern; repeat Row 2 for the number of rows pictured and then work each front section and back separately, leaving 7 DC between each section for the armholes, then use single crochets to stitch tops of the shoulders closed. Hope this helps!
Cute vest and clever design, but only wearable by someone super-svelte.
