Crochet Baby Vest With Side Laces

Materials Required:

Alize Baby nutritional floss in different colors (as mentioned: brown color code 20056, etc.)
Crochet hook size 2.5 mm
Scissors

Step-by-Step Process:

Starting the Motif:

Begin with brown yarn.
Chain 4 and then make a slip stitch in the first chain to form a ring.
Chain 1, then make 12 double crochets in the ring.
Slip stitch in the first double crochet to close the circle.

Switching Colors:

Attach yellow yarn with a slip stitch.
Chain 1, then make 24 single crochets, placing them evenly around the circle.
This part sets up for creating petals or small flowers.

Creating the Flower Motif:

For every pattern around, you’ll create small petals:
Chain 6, skip a few stitches and single crochet in the next stitch; repeat around.
This forms the foundational loops on which you will work to create the flower pedals.

Linking Flowers:

Join motifs by assembling flower petals. Bind the motifs by crocheting along the edges using single crochets.

Assembling the Vest:

Layout the motifs in the desired shape of the vest. Start assembling from the bottom right corner and work upwards.
Use chains to connect motifs: typically, chain 3 between each motif.

Building the Structure:

After laying out the lower section, continue to build up the back piece using similar motifs and connecting patterns.

Additional Details:

Throughout the pattern, make sure to keep the symmetry and alignment in check to ensure that the vest looks even.
Integrate single crochets and false handrails for design enhancements.

Completing the Edges:

For the edges and the armholes, use single crochet stitches to create a neat finish.
You can add additional rows or frills based on the desired size and design preferences.

Finishing Touches:

Cut and weave in all loose ends to secure the work.
Optionally add additional features such as buttons or ties based on the design.
