Pattern Description:

This pattern is the first in a range of clothing for larger ladies, which combines the beauty of crochet with the practicality of fabric.

This pattern is not written to be followed exactly, more as a guideline to creating your own unique look. Use your own choice of fabric together with thread which either compliments or contrasts. Crocheting into fabric is not such an exact science as with following a pattern created with only one medium.

The Vest Top pattern comes in 3 different sizes which you will need to enlarge using the graph.

A calculator will also be useful for working out the number of stitches you will need.

You have permission for items made from any of my patterns to be sold either for charity or personal profit. I would appreciate it if you credit Helen Free, Enfys or Rainbow Valley Crochet with the design, and include a link back to this site.

However, you do not have permission to reproduce or distribute this pattern, whether mechanically, electronically or any other means, including photocopying.

Gauge:

Using a 1.50 mm hook and size 10 thread, I get 9 dc to 2.5 cm/1 in.

Notes: Working a tension square is very important. If your tension is different, you will need to adjust the amount of sts worked into the fabric accordingly.

Materials:

3 metres of cotton or cotton blend fabric (115 cm wide)
5 balls of Twilleys Southern Comfort crochet cotton (or equivalent no. 10 thread)

You Will Also Need:
