Sweet Nothings Crochet: SPOTTED AT SPOTLIGHT

SPOTTED AT SPOTLIGHT

Last year, during my visit to Brisbane, Australia, my sister and I visited the Spotlight store, and as I was feasting my eyes and tightly holding on to my purse to prevent over indulgence ..

(and believe me, its soooooooooo easy to over spend in that store..

It has everything a crafter would want !!)

Anyway, I saw a lady wearing this vest in yellow.

The colour and the unusual shape of this vest caught my attention.

I don’t have a ‘smart phone’ and did not have a handy camera – so ran to my sister to ask her if I could steal hers to steal a pic – and she urged me to ‘think about what I was doing’ and how it was ‘wrong’ to take a photo in a public place blah blah.. booooring.. but oh, so right ..

Next best solution.. request for a picture.. what else?? Right??

But my sister was shocked.. “what ?? you’re going to ask her to model it for you??” .. ‘why not?? After all, she’ll either say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.. right?? So I do have a 50-50 chance’

Trotted up to the lovely lady and of course she was thrilled I liked the creation she had on.. was probably shocked at the request (?) but smilingly obliged !! Success?? Yaay!! Came home and found that the darned thing had not registered.. so all I had was the memory .. and then yesterday I chanced on this image on the www.. and hey.. last years' madness came flooding back.

This is not my pattern .. and I take no credit for it.

Now there was only a chart and some photos .. the chart is self explanatory.. but as usual, as I am making this, thought I’d jot down my notes and chop the chart to sizeable bits for easy understanding

Hope you enjoy this one too.. as much as I’m excited in making and writing it up.

The chart and many of the photos are what I found on the net.. I've cut and enlarged sections, just for better understanding.

Materials used : 1.5 balls of 4-ply baby yarn from Stylecraft , Shade 1233 Baby Lemon, Dye 65684 ; 4 mm (US 6, G) crochet hook

For Indians : This yarn is a lot like our Oswal 3 - 4 ply yarn. You can work this pattern with our lovely Anchor or Red rose knitting cotton, White rose knitting cotton or the superb range of cotton yarns from Alize.

For Non-Indians : I have used a regular knitting cotton that technically uses a 2 – 2.5 mm crochet hook (recommended). I use a larger hook as I like the extra stretch it affords the end product. Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

Size : 34" bust

Gauge : 2 'V'-st (high) x 1 'V'-st + ch 3 = 1"

Gauge is not important for the pattern. I've given it here so you can figure out yarn requirement.

Stiches used :

What is a chain stitch ? Here is an easy video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXx5ukBjKkY

Abbreviations used : (U.S terminology used)

sc : Single crochet

sl-st : Slip stitch ch : chain

‘V’-st : V stitch sp : Space

St: Stitch

dc : Double crochet

hdc : Half double crochet

Pattern Instructions : (U.S terminology used)

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.

Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience, I have also added video tutorials just before we are using the stitch.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

The pattern is worked in two halves, one each for right and left hand side, we then ‘grow’ it upwards to the shoulder and attach the two halves to complete our vest.

There are a few different types of stitches that we will use, so I will list them all here once and for all.

Using this pattern, I have made the top for a Size 34" bust.

So how does this pattern become sized for anyone?

Sadly, with this particular pattern, I have not been able to properly nail that bit.

It will be a bit of a touch-n-go situation, where you will try to work this with a thicker yarn and larger hook for a larger size, and smaller hook for a smaller size - but unfortunately, I can only say you would have to *try* and see if that works.

Sometime, someday, I am going to re-try this pattern with a different yarn - and at that time we can add to these notes. Meanwhile, IF you do work it with a different yarn and it works out, do let me know, so we can add in your yarn and hook for someone else to work along with. Cheers.

Magic circle : To refresh your skill, please view this easy video https://youtu.be/ISC39yOqWro

What is a slip stitch : Here is a neat video tutorial at https://youtu.be/weB3QNbA8Iw

Round 1 : Start with a magic circle, and 6 sc in that circle.

Pull together loosely and join with sl-st to the 1^st st. (6 sc)

Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k

First stitch for Single Crochet : This is how I like to start my row of sc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/6pVYRfsf4_MvoUg

Round 2 : 2 sc in 1^st sc and in each sc till end.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st. (12 sc)

Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk);

[yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/xdnjB27zpYo

Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/wskv3iTjRx0

Round 3 : dc in 1^st sc ;

*ch 5, sk next sc, dc in next sc* ;

rep from *to* 4 times ;

ch 5, join with sl-st to the 1^st st. (6 dc, six ch-5 sps)

‘V’-stitch : ‘V’-st : (dc, ch , dc) all in the same st or ch-sp

Round 4 : sl-st into 1^st ch ;

dc in the same ch, dc in the next ch ;

‘V’-st in the next ch (i.e 3^rd ch) ;

dc in the next 2 ch, sk next dc ;

*dc in the next 2 ch ;

‘V’-st in the next ch ;

dc in the next 2 ch, sk next dc* ;

rep from *to* 4 times till end.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 5 : dc in 1^st dc ,

*ch 5, sk next 2 dc ;

dc in the next ch (of ‘V’-st) ;

ch 5, sk next 2 dc, dc in next 2 dc* ;

rep from *to* 4 times ;

ch 5, sk next 2 dc ;

dc in the next ch (of ‘V’-st) , sk next 2 dc, dc in last dc.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

Note : This is the photo from the net (part of the finished vest).

However I think what has been made here appears to differ from the chart.

IF per chart, you do the dc row for Round 5, this is what I made..

(I think above the designer has done either an hdc or sc in last st, instead of dc)

It’s just a minor difference, but I am working with the chart… so let’s carry on

Round 6 : dc in 1^st ch (of 1^st ch-5) ;

ch 5, sk next 3 ch ; dc in next ch ;

sk dc, dc in next ch ;

*ch 5, sk 3 ch, dc in next ch ;

sk next 2 dc, dc in next ch ;

ch 5, sk 3 ch, dc in next ch ;

sk next dc, dc in next ch* ;

rep from *to* 5 times ;

ch 5, dc in last dc.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

Round 7 : 7 dc in each ch-5 sp (sk all 2 dc’s) all round till end.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

(Diameter of work now = 5.25” )

Round 8 : sc in the 1^st 4 dc (i.e you’re now in the 4^th dc of this “7 dc block”) ,

*17 ch , sl-st into same dc ; sc in next 7 dc* ;

rep from *to* 10 times till end ;

sc in last 3 dc.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

(you should now have 12 ‘spokes’ of ch-17 each to your wheel)

Note : The chart shows that we’re skipping the centre dc when making ch-17.

However, I found that the gap here did not coincide with the finished vest, so have chosen to do my ch-17 from the 4^th dc (which is the centre of each 7-dc block)

Half Double Crochet : Hdc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk) ;

yo, draw through all 3 lps. One hdc made.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/sDiELJdB2Dg

Chainless start for Half Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 start, and this is what I do to start my row of hdc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/lWXpl1KdbZ8

Round 9 : sc in the 1^st 3 sc ( sk 1 sc before the ch-17) ,

(we will now work along each ch-17 and then come back down to the main motif)

*1 sc , 1 hdc , 23 dc , 1 hdc and finally 1 sc (all in the ch-17);

(and now working along the main motif)

sc in the next 8 sc (till you reach the ch-17) ;

sk 1 sc, sc in next sc, sk last sc* ;

rep from *to* all around till the end of last ch-17;

sk 1 sc, then sc in last 3 sts.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st st.

(Just in case you want to do the 27 sts neatly within the ch-12, the break up is as follows : sc in 1^st ch ; hdc in next ch ; dc in next 2 ch ; 2 dc each in next 4 ch ; 3 dc in next dc ; 2 dc each in next 4 ch ; dc in next 2 ch ; hdc in next ch ; and sc in last ch. This gives you a firmer, neater finish, but is a little more work)

Triple Crochet : trc : wrap yarn twice around hook, insert hk into st ; yo (4 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] three times. One trc made.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/A0y4BbgDTbs

Chainless start for Triple / Treble Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of trc.

Check out the video at https://youtu.be/f42MO0cGYC0

Round 10 : sl-st in 1^st 3 sc (on main motif) ;

sl-st in 1^st 6 sts

(so the sc, hdc and then 4 dc) ;

ch 9 (counts as 1 trc + 5 ch) ;

sk 4 dc , sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 dc, sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 sts, trc in next st ;

*trc in 4^th dc from end

(which is the 6^th st on next ch-17 ‘spoke’) ;

ch 5, sk next 4 dc, sc in next sc ;

ch 5, sk next 4 dc, sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 sts, trc in next st* ;

rep from* to * all the way around to the 1^st st.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st trc

(which is part of that 4^th ch on the 1^st 9-ch you’ve made).

Take a quick look at the chart.

Note that we will be leaving one full ‘spoke’ and two halves of the adjoining ones without working on them.

Small shell stitch : (dc, ch 2, dc) all in the same st or ch-sp

Round 11 : Sl-st in all the chs of the 1^st 5-ch

(till you reach that 1^stsc on the 1^st ‘spoke’) ;

dc in 1^st sc ; ch 3, sk 2 ch, dc in 3^rd ch ;

[ch 3, Small shell st (i.e dc, ch 2, dc) in 3^rd ch of next ch-5 sp] ;

*ch 3, dc in trc ;

ch 2, dc in next trc ;

rep from[to] 3 times* ;

rep from *to* 8 times ;

ch 3, dc in trc ;

(dc in next dc, ch 2, dc in next dc) ;

*ch 3, rep from [to] 3 times ;

rep from (to) once*;

rep *to* 7 times ;

ch 3, rep from [to] 2 times ;

dc in last dc (of ‘V’-st). Turn

Medium shell stitch : 6 dc in same st or ch-sp

Row 15 : dc in 1^st dc ;

Medium shell in each ch-2 sp all around

(sk all ch-3 sps) ; dc in last dc. Turn

Per chart above, once again looks like designer has made a small change in the right hand side (grey portion), which is not charted. I've written pattern per chart, so I've not done that little extra bit, and it still worked

Row 16 : dc in 1^st dc ;

sk 1 dc, small shell in next dc ;

sk 2 dc, ch 3 ;

*sk 4 dc, small shell in next dc ; ch 3* ;

rep *to* till end ;

dc in last dc (of ‘V’-st). Turn

Row 17 : dc in 1^st dc,

*small shell in next small shell, ch 3* ;

rep from *to* till last dc ;

dc in last dc. Turn

Row 18 : Rep Row 14.

Large shell stitch : 7 dc in same st or ch-sp

Row 19 : dc in 1^st dc,

*large shell in next small shell, ch 3* ;

rep from *to* till the last 8 small shells ;

ch 1, dc in the next small shell ;

ch 1, small shell in the next ch-3 sp ;

(We will continue to make the shoulder strap) ;

(ch 2, sc in the next ch-sp) ;

rep from (to) 5 times ;

ch 2, [small shell in each small shell, ch 3] ;

rep from [to] 3 times till end (4 small shells) ;

dc in last dc . Turn.

(The 4 small shells will make your shoulder strap)

Row 20 : Shoulder : dc in 1^st dc ;

*small shell in small shell, ch 3* ;

rep from *to* 3 times ;

dc in next dc (dc of the ‘V’ st of earlier row) . Turn.

Rep Row 20 Shoulder 8 more time (total of 10 rows for shoulder).

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

We will start on the Right Hand Side of our vest, and after completing the shoulder for this side, attach the two vest halves, and complete it as one piece.

Rep Rounds 1 – 9 as for Left Hand Side

Round 10 : Turn.

sl-st in 1^st 3 sc (on main motif) ;

sl-st in 1^st 6 sts (so the sc, hdc and then 4 dc) ;

ch 9 (counts as 1 trc + 5 ch) ;

sk 4 dc , sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 dc, sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 sts, trc in next st ;

*trc in 4^th dc from end (which is the 6^th st on next ch-17 ‘spoke’) ;

ch 5, sk next 4 dc, sc in next sc ;

ch 5, sk next 4 dc, sc in next dc ;

ch 5, sk 4 sts, trc in next st* ;

rep from *to* all the way around to the 1^st st.

Join with sl-st to the 1^st trc

(which is part of that 4^th ch on the 1^st 9-ch you’ve made).

Cut yarn. Leave a tail for joining and fasten off.

Take a quick look at the chart, and see that we are now making the mirror image of the side we’ve done first.

So keeping that finished side facing upwards, you’ll get an idea of what we’ve got to make .

Re-attach yarn at the opposite end and continue.

Row 11 : Sl-st in all the 1^st5 chs of the 1^st 5-ch

(till you reach that 1^stsc on the 1^st ‘spoke’) ;

dc in 1^st sc ; ch 3, sk 2 ch, dc in 3^rd ch ;

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Leave a tail for attaching the two shoulder blades of your vest together.

First join : We will be joining the centre portions of the vest now..

so place your work down with both front sides facing up, and join together.

Close up of section we've completed so far

View of both halves joined

As you can see, the photo here shows joint after completion, but I joined a few lines before think I got a neater finish – so choose your option

Once you’ve joined the two halves, we complete the border in one piece. Use one of the joining methods below

Border :

Re-attach yarn in the 1^st small shell (this is the top row where you’ve got the ch-2 sps followed by the small shell).

Row 1 : Ch 7 ; sc in the 4^th dc of 1^st large shell (sk 1^st 3 dc) ;

17 ch, sl-st into same 4^th dc ;

*5 ch, sc in the 4^th dc of the next large shell (sk 1^st 3 dc) ;

17 ch, sl-st into the same 4^th dc* ;

rep from *to* till last large shell ;

ch 5, sc in the next small shell. Turn.

Row 2 : sc in 1^st st ; ch 5,

*1 sc , 1 hdc , 23 dc , 1 hdc and finally 1 sc (all in the ch-17) ;

ch 2, sc in ch-5 sp, ch 2*;

rep from *to* till end ;

ch 5, sc in last sc.

Row 2 A : Re-attach a yarn at the 1^st spoke at the other end, and rep these 3 spokes at that end too.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Now we’ll continue with the opposite end, and complete border in one single row.

Row 3 : sc in 1^st st ;

ch 5, sc in 6^th st of 1^st spoke ;

ch 17, sc in the same st ;

(sc in next 6 sts ; ch 17, sc in same st) ;

rep from (to) once ;

Turn,

we will go back and complete the three spokes just made (i.e ch 17’s) ;

ch 2 , sc in last sc.

Row 4 : (ch 1, sk 1 dc on spoke, dc in next dc on spoke) ;

rep from (to) 4 times ;

[sk 1 st, ‘V’-st in next st, ch 1] ;

rep from [to] twice ;

ch 1, sk next dc on spoke, dc on next dc on spoke ;

(we will now attach the 1^st and 2^nd spokes, and then work on 2^nd spoke)

{dc in the 8^th dc on the 2^nd spoke ;

rep from (to) once ;

rep from [to] 3 times ;

rep from (to) once ;

ch 1, sk next dc on spoke, dc on next dc on spoke} ;

(we will now attach the 2^ndand 3^rd spokes, and then work on 3^rd spoke)

Rep from {to} once ;

(we will now move across to the other spokes all the way around)

*dc in 8^th dc of the next spoke ;

rep from (to) 6 times* ;

rep from *to* all the way around till the last spoke from end

(to copy/mimic the start spoke – remember the ‘V’ sts too).

Fasten off. Weave ends.

We will now make the two remaining shoulders that come just off the 3 spokes made in the first spoke.

This bit I found worked if you keep your work facing the way it needs to be –

so now re-attach yarn in the 2^nd ‘V’-st in the spoke from the neck side.

Shoulder row :

Row 1 : 1 dc and 1 ‘V’-st in that ‘V’-st ;

ch 3 ; sk next ‘V’-st, ‘V’-st in next dc ;

ch 3, ‘V’-st in next dc (on next spoke) ;

ch 3, sk next ‘V’-st, ‘V’-st in next ‘V’-st ;

dc in next dc. Turn.

Row 2 : dc in 1^st dc ; ‘V’-st in 1^st ‘V’-st, ch 3 ;

*‘V’-st in next ‘V’-st, ch 3* ;

rep from *to* 2 times ;

dc in last dc. Turn.

Row 3 : Rep Row 2.

Rep these rows for the other shoulder as well.

Note that one shoulder has the extra 3 spokes, so needs less rep rows.

Please check reps accordingly.

Finishing :

Join shoulder blades.

Join 3-4 spokes on the side.

(I only joined the 2 spokes back & front in the centre bits of each spoke, not all through)

I did two rounds of sc followed by one round of crab stitch (reverse sc) all around the armholes and neckline for a neat finish.

Weave in all ends. Block per yarn instructions.

This has been a not-that-easy journey.. and I do hope that this all works out (i.e there aren’t too many errors here), but I’ll add that this is totally worth it J
