Great customer service!

I have the right and left front completed. I’m stuck!! Need help! Starting BACK has me confused as to where to join yarn to start the back. Where is “unworked shell” of 11th row? I was pleasantly surprised when yarn inspirations responded to me with a solution to the problem. I finished the vest and it came out perfect! Will probably make another one!

• The BODY of the vest is worked 1st to 11th rows. In the next row, you begin Dividing for Armholes and you only work a portion of the stitches from the BODY 11th row at that point forward for creating the armholes as well as the Right/Left Front of the vest. You should have shells at the back of the vest that were left unworked from the 11th row. With the WS of the fabric facing you (the inside of the vest), join your yarn with a slip stitch to the center stitch of the 1st or 3rd unworked shell from the 11th row according to the size you are making.

Cute, but wouldn’t do it again.

The pattern was tricky to follow at first. It took me a little while to figure out the direction and I had to read through it a few times to fully grasp each row. Overall, it turned out to be a cute vest—definitely one of a kind. I probably won’t make it again.

It doesn’t make sense

This really is the cutest little vest top but the pattern is so difficult to follow Apart from the error in row 2, the instructions just say skip 1 dc when they are actually referring to skip the single dc, not the dc’s of the shell or the 3 dc’s Took me a while and a few frogs to work it out but eventually I got there A chart or a close up of the pattern would be very helpful

Fun to make!

I finished this pattern successfully. While the directions were not super clear in some spots, it did make sense to me. After reading a couple reviews, I can see how this can be confusing for newer crocheters since this is definitely an intermediate/advanced pattern. Reading the pattern is a little bit of a learning curve - some more pictures in the first few rows could help this significantly. BUT it was a free pattern, and far better written than several etsy listings I've bought.

The cutest little vest!

I managed to make this little vest up in a day! I was pretty nervous starting because there were no pictures and a lot of text for the pattern (I just don't follow many written patterns). It took me a moment to work out row two, so I studied the finished garment picture, got my head around it and now LOVE this stitch! It's super pretty, I have been wearing mine over summer dresses or with a bralette by itself. I am going to make something else using this stitch. I added a tie at the front to give it a little closure.

it sucks

pattern makes no sense as early as row 2 says to crochet a series of stitches into a single crochet even though that is impossible. as there wasn't any in the previous row and there are no possible alternatives as to what it could refer to, a waste of an hour! Don't even try using it !!!

• Note that there is an error in the 2nd row. The 2nd row should read: 2nd row: Ch 6 (counts as 1 dc and ch-3) 1 dc in first dc. Ch 1. 3 dc in center dc of next shell. Ch 1. *(1 dc. Ch 3. 1 dc) in next dc. Ch 1. 3 dc in center dc of next shell. Ch 1. *Rep from * to last dc. (1 dc. Ch 3. 1 dc) in last dc. Turn.

Starting the right front of the vest it says to start on the right side but if you do your shells would be showing as the wrong side if this makes sense?

I'm working on the 5th raw of the back on 2-5xl and when I repeated from *6 times I still have 4 unworked shells till the part which is written to work on

Please explain 2xl on Body Row 4 repeat 10 times; Then Row 5 repeat 6 times. Not sure where to attach last stitch on Row 5

Sz 2XL How many shells after row 11 on Body

BACK 2XL Row 4 repeat 10 times. Row 5 repeat 6 times Not sure where to end row 5

Couple of questions: I'm making the 2XL pattern. When row 11 is completed, how many shells should there be?

I am lost at Row 3. I followed the Row as shown on this website and not the pdf one as you mentioned. Please let me know if this row has different instructions again. I ended up with double the shells. Thank tou

So are the shells on the right front wrong side showing?

II am working on this vest. I am now confused with the back.If I follow the instructions I have a number of stitches on one side of the back not worked. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
