Vests are now the trend of the season. And you can be sure that they will not give up their positions quickly. It's very comfortable and versatile. For those who are not yet very experienced in the practice of knitting, no doubt you can start making such a wardrobe item without fear that the thing will remain unknitted. There are a lot of models of vests, and among them there are definitely original ones.
Take, for example, crocheted patterns. Surely many will be interested in an unusual model - a weightless mesh-knit vest that can be knitted literally from 170 grams of yarn, that is, from leftovers when you were able to buy the last pair of hanks in the store or you still have threads from previous projects. For our vest, depending on the size, you may need from 120 to 180 grams of yarn, this is very economical and at the same time practical in terms of using leftover threads.
So, we use delicate acrylic from the Semenov factory of the brand "Carolina", 438 m per 100 gr. Recommended crochet hook size: N2 - N3, in our case, hook number 4 was used, which did not prevent knitting in loops from looking loose. The airiness of a thing is determined by the pattern. A little about knitting threads: this brand of yarn consists of 100% acrylic, the thread is quite thin, but at the same time voluminous, has a silky smooth texture and the same silky unobtrusive sheen. The rich turquoise color of the yarn in our case is matched to the tunic, which can be worn with a vest to see its design in harmony with the mesh knit of the latter.
In addition to the fact that a small amount of yarn is used for the vest, it also has a fairly simple pattern. The entire vest is knitted in one piece, which allows you to speed up the work and see the finished result faster.
Another tip: when working with acrylic yarn of this kind, count on the fact that the finished item will stretch, i.e. increase in size. With tight knitting, the increase is mainly in length, with mesh knitting, as in our case, not only in length, but also in width. If a hook is used half a size larger, then this gives another increase in the dimensions of the finished product. Based on this, it is worth estimating the measurements and the amount of yarn. For a vest of small sizes, one skein of threads of 100 grams may be enough!
The highlight of this vest lies in the pattern pattern. Quite simple, but at the same time original, it, like all crochet patterns, requires careful counting.
The scheme of the pattern is shown in the figure.
The number of loops should be a multiple of 9 + 3 loops on the rise when moving to the next row. The thing is knitted in one piece with notches on the armhole, the finished product has only shoulder seams.
Measurements for the product: the width of the product - the girth of the hips, the length of the product - along the back from the collar zone, the width of the back - the distance along the back from one shoulder seam to another.
We start from a chain of air loops, the length of which corresponds to the total length of the product. Pattern report: * 3 ch, 3 tbsp. with a crochet, ch 3, 3 tbsp. with a crochet, ch 3, 3 tbsp. double crochet, ch 9 *
In the opposite direction, you can knit in symmetry, so the model is made of turquoise yarn, or by shifting the report to get a diagonal pattern. In this way, the model in the photo from the magazine was made (see photo).
Knitting order: shelf, back, shelf.
For armhole cast off 1 row 1 report shorter; 2 row on * 3 ch, 3 tbsp. double crochet* shorter; 3, 4, row repeat 2 row; 5 row add * 3 ch, 3 tbsp. with a crochet, 6, 7 row repeat 5 row; 8 add completely 1 rapport. If the armhole is not so deep, then you can reduce the decrease in the rows.
Next, we knit three thin ribbons from the same yarn of arbitrary length, they should be small. With the help of these ribbons we will fix the corners of the shelves in the form of a turn-down collar. And we use the third ribbon as a tie to connect the shelves at chest or waist level.
This completes the work on the manufacture of the vest - mesh.

Long crochet vest Knitwear is in the arsenal of any self-respecting lady. It doesn't matter if it's a shawl or a cardigan. It is important that no one can resist the patterned motifs and the magic of the hook. Let's talk in more detail about such an item of women's wardrobe as sleeveless jackets and vests. These are definitely practical and very comfortable things. They can be worn both for a business meeting and for a sports walk. It all depends on the type of product and its purpose.
Models are very diverse:
- long,
- short,
- simple - for warmth,
- openwork - for beauty,
- sleeveless jackets of a straight silhouette,
- trimmed with faux fur or fringe,
- with buttons, zippers, lace-ups, waistbands, wraparounds, ties or no closures at all.
The choice of collar is also very wide:
- collar collar,
- shawl collar,
- golf collar,
- stand collar,
- overhead,
- with cutting stand
- flat lying,
- round,
- V-shaped,
- neck collar,
- deep cut.
The choice of yarn depends on the season. For winter sleeveless jackets, it is better to use wool. It retains heat well. The disadvantages include dumping, insufficient strength, the formation of pellets, stretching during washing. To improve the properties of wool yarn, artificial fibers are often added.
Types of wool yarn for crochet:
- camel (beautiful, but requires special care),
- angora (in its pure form, expensive and not elastic, but fluffy, warm and soft),
- merino (very soft, ideal for children's things),
- cashmere (light, warm, but pellets form on it),
- alpaca (due to the long fibers, it practically does not fall off; in the finished product, the fabric “hangs” due to the density of the yarn)
To enhance the positive qualities and eliminate the shortcomings, wool yarn is often mixed with artificial: viscose, synthetics.
For summer openwork models, it is better to use:
- cotton.
The first is ideal for the heat, as it absorbs moisture and dries quickly. And cotton lets air in well, is pleasant to wear, washes well, but dries for a long time. Cotton products shrink when washed, but do not fade in the sun.
For sophisticated patterns, use fancy or glittery yarn.
As you can see, there is no limit to the variety of styles, yarn, patterns, motifs. Everything is limited only by your imagination and imagination. Perhaps you are planning to knit an extravagant vest that has never been seen before! Well, everything is in your hands. Let the hook and thread not let you down, and ready-made sleeveless jackets and vests cause envious glances and admiring exclamations.

The question of how to master crocheting a vest for women who want to do needlework is relevant. Crocheting is a creative hobby that leads to a tangible result - the acquisition of a one-of-a-kind stylish thing. The sleeveless jacket does not go out of fashion, as it is convenient and practical, so everyone needs to have it in the wardrobe. Today, designers offer handmade knitwear in unique color combinations with an abundance of fringe. Warm or beachy, it always gives a feeling of comfort.
Waistcoats made of light cotton, silk, woolen or blended fabrics are in fashion today, which cannot be said about Lurex, acrylic and sequins.
Often they are knitted in one piece, which is very convenient, since you can try it on at any time. They can be open or buttoned, with a belt or a wrap.
How to knit a warm vest
When choosing yarn for the winter version of the product, keep in mind that pure wool may not be strong enough, roll up, or form spools. The best option is a modern blended yarn: it is light and breathable. A long warm sleeveless jacket is knitted with yoke or golf collars. Often they use schemes of vending models of sweaters and pullovers, excluding sleeves. A warm vest can be tied with a hood or sheathed with fur on the collar and patch pockets.
More and more popular is knitting with the freeform technique (English) - “free form”, based on unlimited creative imagination. Both multi-colored and plain products are unique.
The canvas has excellent density, and the relief is given to it by the main element of freeform - the use of twisted, or postal, columns, which are knitted as follows:
- To the loop on the hook, attach the tapestry needle with the eye to the tip of the rod. It does not need to be looped.
- Around the loop and hook, thread 5-10 turns counterclockwise. Their number depends on the thickness of the yarn.
- Move the needle down a little, thread the loop through the base with a hook, return the needle to its place, again closing the tip of the hook with it. Pull the loop through the entire number of turns. This is most difficult to do if the thread is thin and there are many turns.
- Knit 2 loops on the hook.
Knitting of such posts can be done in a circle, in a spiral, in the form of a strip or several petals. It should be noted that a large number of these elements makes the canvas heavier. Separately connected fragments are assembled into one whole using any knitting techniques.
The peculiarity of the freeform technique is that not only threads of a contrasting color, but also of different quality can be used in the work. The main thing is your idea, neatly executed elements and a sense of proportion.
From separate fragments
Delightfully look products from openwork floral motifs, which can be multi-colored, reminiscent of patchwork, or plain, in the style of Irish knitting. Usually, the diagram shows signs that experienced craftswomen can read without difficulty and, moreover, they can independently come up with a pattern or describe step-by-step knitting of an openwork of a finished handmade product.
Beginning needlewomen prefer instructions that are not written with signs, but with words. Consider the description of schemes of simple floral motifs:
- Small round fragment with a diameter of 6 cm:
- 1 row - a chain of 6 loops, connected by a column in a circle;
- 2 row - * 2 tbsp. s / n, 1 century. p. * - repeat 7 times;
- 3 row - in each air loop, tie: 1 tbsp. s / n, 2 c. p., 1 tbsp. s / n, 1 century. P.
When knitting in a circle, each row begins with an air loop and ends with a connecting column in the last air loop of the beginning.
- A large fragment with a diameter of 11 cm. The first 3 rows should be knitted in the same way as in the small one, and the next 8 petals in this way:
- 4 row - in 2 air loops: 2 tbsp. s / n, 1 century. p., 2 tbsp. s / n; in 1 air loop - 1 tbsp. b / n;
- 5 row - in 1 air loop: 3 tbsp. s / n, c. p., 3 tbsp. s / n; over a single crochet, knit the same.
Each small motive is placed between 4 large ones, and the sleeveless jacket is assembled.
To crochet an original vest, you will need any threads and light rings with a diameter of 30–40 mm, each of which is tied in circles (rows), following this description:
- Make a slippery knot, pull the working thread through it, inserting the hook under the ring. Tie the ring with single crochets, placing them very tightly. At the end of the row, a connecting column is knitted.
- Double crochets.
- Between the columns it is necessary to tie a peak of 3-5 air loops.
At the end of the work, each circle is sewn together. Short products connected in this way look best.
How to read a diagram
Crochet means to twist the threads in different ways. Combining them, get different patterns. In total, there are about 20 generally accepted conventional symbols. To learn how to knit using a pattern without a description, you need to be able to perform the basic elements and know how they are indicated. At first, it is enough to master 4-6 of them. When knitting in rows, reading patterns is carried out from the bottom up, with odd (front) - from right to left, and even (purl) - vice versa. Circular knitting starts from the center and is read counterclockwise. A well-designed scheme for beginners is represented by numbered rows of different colors, and the beginning of knitting - a chain of air loops - is not considered the first.
You should start with simple products. One of them is a sleeveless jacket with a simple repeating pattern and a dropped shoulder. Before starting work, it is necessary to make a full-size paper pattern of parts in order to refer to it when applying the product. A simple sleeveless jacket consists of 2 sewn rectangular canvases. The description of the model indicates the thickness of the thread, hook and the number of loops that need to be dialed.
However, the density largely depends on the knitting technique, therefore, based on the proposed data, it is better to calculate it yourself.
In other words, you should determine the number of loops and rows needed to obtain a fabric of a particular size. To do this, they knit a square sample and count how many loops fit in 1 horizontal row 10 cm long, divide their number by 10. To determine the number of loops, the coefficient obtained is multiplied by the desired dimensions in accordance with the pattern (in cm).
How and with what to wear
Knitted sleeveless jackets and vests can please the owners of any female figure. T-shirts, turtlenecks, blouses, T-shirts, dresses are put on under them.
Cotton and silk products are worn on the naked body in summer. Often, products are knitted with cuts on the sides, and the back is made longer than the front. Full women should adhere to the following recommendations:
- do not knit for yourself very bright, colorful and voluminous products;
- choose models without buttons, voluminous decorative elements, flounces.
If you knit a very short vest (bolero), you should wear elongated clothes under it. Elegance will give the image a V-shaped neckline, which can be very deep.
A long openwork vest is combined with trousers and a knitted dress, a warm one can be worn as a light coat - with boots, a hat, high gloves or mitts.
Such clothes are easy to combine with other wardrobe items. This is its advantage.
