Crocheting a vest can be a fun and rewarding project. The Cross Peanut Model Vest is a unique and stylish design that can be made with basic crochet stitches. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to create your own Crochet CrossPeanut Model Vest.
Materials:
To create the Crochet Cross Peanut Model Vest, you will need the following materials:
Yarn: We recommend using medium weight yarn in your desired color. For this project, we used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Dusty Purple.
Crochet Hook: You will need a 6mm crochet hook.
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Stitch markers (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make a Foundation Chain
To start, make a foundation chain that is the length you want your vest to be. For our vest, we made a chain of 78 stitches.
Step 2: Work the First Row
After making the foundation chain, work the first row of double crochet stitches. Insert the hook into the fourth chain from the hook and make a double crochet stitch. Continue making double crochet stitches across the row.
Step 3: Work the Cross Peanut Stitch
The Cross Peanut Stitch is the main stitch used in this pattern. To create this stitch, follow these steps:
Insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop.
Insert your hook into the same stitch again and pull up another loop.
Insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop.
Insert your hook into the same stitch again and pull up another loop.
Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.
Continue working the Cross Peanut Stitch across the row until you reach the end.
Step 4: Work the Remaining Rows
For the remaining rows, follow these steps:
Chain 2 and turn your work.
Work one double crochet stitch in the first stitch.
Work the Cross Peanut Stitch in the next stitch.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach the end of the row.
Repeat Step 4 until your vest reaches the desired length.
Step 5: Finish the Vest
To finish the vest, cut the yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle. You can also add fringe to the bottom edge of the vest if desired.
