Dress up any outfit in your wardrobe with a handmade crochet vest. Vests also make great gifts for others, since they work up relatively quickly compared to other wearables but still make a big impact when the present is opened. These 10 crochet vest patterns offer an array of options for women, men and children.
1. Diamond Lace Vest Kit

2. The Jared Vest
This is the ideal men’s crochet pattern. It’s simple, it’s sexy and it’s stylish. It doesn’t scream “my girlfriend made me this” but instead offers that cozy perfection of the right handmade gift. It is worked almost entirely in very basic crochet stitches with some post stitches for the ribbing around the edges.

3. Huntress Vest
This one-shoulder crochet vest is one of the most popular contemporary vest styles, so it’s a perfect accessory for anyone with a fashionable edge. It is inspired by Katniss’s style in The Hunger Games film, but it’s worked in a chunky yarn that has a softer, cozy appeal. It’s a terrific winter crochet wearable!

5. Tenzing Vest
Who could resist snuggling with a little cutie all wrapped up in this hooded crochet vest? This is a baby’s crochet vest pattern available in five sizes from age 0 months – 2 years. It’s worked in a single piece with just a little bit of seaming. The texture comes from the post stitches that make up a large portion of the design. It’s thick and cozy and oh so cute!

6. SpiderWeb Vest
This crochet circle vest has a streamlined modern sense of style when you view it from the front, but turn around and you’ve got a statement piece in the shape of a spider web. This is a terrific crochet vest for teens, although many adults will also enjoy wearing this vest, too. It’s a one-size-fits-most crochet design that you can adapt fairly easy if you have basic crochet skills.

8. The Summer Vest
Although it’s called The Summer Vest, this looks cute on little girls all year long. Add a long-sleeved shirt underneath and it’s the perfect second layer for cooler months. It’s actually available in three sizes, including an adult’s size small, making it an even more versatile crochet pattern. It requires some level of intermediate crochet skills, particularly to work the beautiful daisy flowers that make the back of the piece so intriguing to the eye.
