Instructions
Follow these simple steps to crochet the openwork seedlings model baby vest:
Start by creating a foundation chain that is a multiple of 6 + 1. For example, you could chain 25 stitches.
Single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Then chain 2, skip 2 chains, and single crochet in the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet in the first stitch, chain 2, and double crochet in the next stitch. Then chain 1, skip the chain-2 space from the previous row, and double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet in the first stitch, then chain 2 and single crochet in the next chain-1 space. Then chain 1, skip the next chain-2 space, and single crochet in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet in the first stitch, chain 2, and double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Then chain 1, skip the next chain-2 space, and double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your work is the desired length for the back of the vest.
For the front of the vest, work until the armholes are reached. Then, at the beginning of each row, chain 7 and skip the first 7 stitches. Continue with the pattern until the front pieces are the same length as the back piece.
Join the front and back pieces together at the shoulders using single crochet stitches.
To create the armholes, single crochet around the armhole openings. Then, work the same pattern as in step 3 to create the edging for the armholes.
Finally, add a button or tie closure to the front of the vest as desired.
And there you have it – a beautiful openwork seedlings model baby vest that's perfect for any occasion. This pattern is easy to customize by using different yarn colors or adding your own embellishments. Happy crocheting!
