Crocheted waistcoat

In what way are you stuck Gingster? Is it the shoulders/armholes that are the problem? Any chance of a photo showing how far you've got with it?

If you look at lixy's suggestion on your other thread and remove the arm squares that should give you a basic pattern, I think.

Hi Mizuna,
I’ve got the back crocheted together
Two fronts and
Two sides
Just can’t seem to fathom it 🤯
Thanks for responding

Forgive the crude scrawling on your image lixy! In your picture I can't see anywhere for your neck to go Gingster. There should be two bits that hang down the front and a wider one at the back. Then there are separate gussets for the sides, if that makes sense?

Like this.

Ah that’s great thanks.
I’ll give it a go this afternoon and let you know . ❤️

Have fun!!!!!

Does this inspire anybody to greater heights?
I have already warned my sons in law to be afraid, very afraid!

Brilliant! 😂😂

Wowsers! 😂

Or a crochet thong for the man in your life. 😉

All done Mizuna. Followed your sketch and it all made sense.
Thankyou 👍

Finished article . Can’t seem to post a pic . I’ll try again later

If you search on Pinterest under crochet cardigans/coats there are some very good photos how to layout your item. I'm doing something similar at the moment

My mum made me a waistcoat just like that in the late sixties. I loved it!

OMG that pic of blokes in crocheted outfits, so funny😂
There’s a family on Gogglebox who’s lounge is full of knitted and crocheted blankets, jumpers and outfits I sometimes wonder if they’re made of yarn too.

That's great Gingster, so glad it's worked for you!

Waistcoat

That waistcoat looks super Gingster and I bet it's comfortable to wear. Hope you enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Looks lovely Gingster!

Thanks for all your kind comments.
I’m very pleased with it xx

Well done, it looks lovely.
