Crochet Rustic Fall vest

For a naturally stylish look this Autumn, rustic-themed clothing is a perfect choice. I designed this long vest with simple crochet stitches, a big lapel, and shades of brown-cream self-striping sport-weight yarn.

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitch used:

2dc – V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc ) into the same stitch or space.

This crochet Rustic Fall vest pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge:  8 double crochet stitches x  5 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
