Help please! Just about to start round 1 and I notice that the stitch count should be 142 by the end of it but since each row is 38 stitches and there is two lots of 30 chains that makes 38+38+30+30 = 136. Any ideas?
*g* It'd probably help if I read the pattern properly! The first row had 44 stitches making 142 at the end of round 1.
Ah yes! I was just about to explain it that way. Crochet math is always fun! LOL Glad you figured it out. Thanks
Please note that I updated this pattern on 5/22/13 to fix a stitch count on Round 7 of the size small/medium version. The updated version is available in your pattern library. Thanks!
Thank you for this update!
This worked up a treat? Great pattern!
Thanks for your help. It's coming along great.
beautiful coat, i have a similar one, made by my mom
Just finished Rounds 4 and 5. Help! What round starts adding stitches to the side chain stitches?
Go back to round 2, Ellen. It works stitches all the way around.
Wow! This is very classy . I'm going to try this pattern.
Does the picture above show the item with or without the "optional" rows added? Thanks in advance.
No, the orange vest shown does not show the optional extra rows. Thanks
bravo
This was one of the first patterns I purchased from Craftsy and I made it up at least 6 different times as Christmas gifts...Loved it...
Is there an easy was to convert this to a knit pattern?
I LOVE this design! Well-written pattern, worth the money. I picked the pattern up last night and just about have it completed. I don't think this one I'm working on is going to fit me, but I'm sure it will find a home. I admit I didn't take measurements. I do plan on tweaking it to make it a size or 2 bigger. As was mentioned before, you may want to consider including notes on adjusting the size. I have a full figure and this design attracted me because it looks like it could be kind to my shape. I'm sure others would feel the same way :-)
I noticed at the bottom of the pattern that you cannot sell the finished product. This should have been included in the pattern listing. It's a wonderful pattern, but had I have known this condition was tacked on to it, I would not have bought it. As with so many stitchers, I buy patterns to sell my finished items to support my family. I always include a link to the designer in my listings so that they can get business too. But I won't buy patterns that I can't sell my finished work from. At least I know this now.
Purchase it
I had the same problems. The pattern runs small. To remedy this I used a larger hook for one size larger and thicker yarn with larger hook for two sizes larger. Also, if I had know I couldn't sell the end product I probably would not have bought it. I also give credit to the designer.
Love this vest, very fast pattern. I'm tall so I lengthened it, however, it came out ruffled in the back. Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm not quite done yet, so I can't honestly answer about the ruffling. One thing that comes to mind though... Did you try blocking it?
So theoretically if you just wanted a shrug you could leave the part of the pattern off with the circular collar and you'd have just that. Correct?
No. It starts with just a square back. Starting the circle collar also creates the arm hole openings.
There's a long-sleeved shrug pattern available here... http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/clothing/bell-sleeved-shrug/7364
I just started this project and would like to know if the picture on the web page has the added rows after Row 20. None of the finished project pictures look like the one on the web page.
The orange vest pictured was worked through round 21 like the original pattern, without the optional instructions. In some of the other colors shown, I may have used the enlargement instructions, in part or whole. I'm happy to help if you have any questions.
Do you have written instructions for this pattern? I'd love to make it. Thanks
There's a link for the pattern here... http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/clothing/crochet-ladies-circle-vest-or-shrug/192
Is this actually crocheted in a circle or is the back straight across like the red one? Susan
The back is square and worked in rows and then the circular collar is added.
Actually it's rectangle, not perfectly "square".
Really gorgeous vest! Love it
This is beautiful, especially in the violet. How hard would it be to add on sleeves to it should they be desired?
You could join yarn in the armpit area and work in dc around, then taper it down as you go. I haven't tried it because I prefer the vest style. Let me know if you do!
I think it would be important to note how to increase/decrease the size of the base square for a good fit. The count of stitches isn't important that I can see. Making that base the correct size for your back measurement is important. If this doesn't fit you have a lot of work and yarn down the tube.
Yes - I made this according to instructions but ended up ripping it all out as it puckered across the back at the bottom of the arm holes. Probably would have been eliminated if I had taken measurements and customized it to those. I was so bummed out as it was very pretty.
