Knitted Vest Start to Finish - Vest Tutorial Knitting - How To Knit A Vest

A whole start to finish vest tutorial. Excellent to learn how to design in knitting, make buttonholes and sew pieces together. A great way to learn to convert to your own measurements and decrease on the sleeves as well.

used #5 yarn and 10 1/2 knitting needles
Gauge 15.5 stitches = 4”

k=knit

p=purl

k2tog=knot 2 stitches together

p2tog=purl 2 stitches together

ssk= slide 1stitch to the right needle, slide another stitch, put the left needle

in front of the 2 stitches and knit them together.

Repeat from * to *

Always leave long tails at the beginning and at the end, for sewing.

Cast on 81 Stitches and knit (double seed stitch) 48 rows.

Double seed stitch: since its an odd number of stitches, do the following:

1.- k1, p1 (end with k1)

2.- p1, k1 (end with p1)

3.- p1, k1 (end with p1)

4.- k1, p1 (end with k1)

For the armholes:

Row 1of armhole (49).- Bind off 5 stitches and continue with *k, p*….k

Row 2 (50).- Bind off 5 stitches and continue with *p, k*…p

Row 3 (51).- k1, k2tog, *p, k* to last 3 stitches, ssk, k1

Row 4 (52).- p1, p2tog, *p, k* p, last 3 stitches, p2tog, p1

Row 5 (53).- k1, k2tog, *k, p* k, last 3 stitches, ssk, k1

Row 6 (54).- p1, p2tog, *k, p* k, last 3 stitches, p2tog, p1

Row 7 (55).- k1, k2tog, *p, k* to last 3 stitches, ssk, k1

Row 8 (56).- p2, *k, p* purl last 2.

Row 10 (58).- p2, *k, p* k purl last 2.

Row 11 (59).- k1, k2tog, *p,k*, p, last 3 stitches, ssk, k1

Row 12 (60).- p2, *k, p* k, purl last 2.

Continue straight until you have 96 rows.

Bind off.

Fronts:

Cast on 41 stitches and knit the same way as you did the back

using double seed stitch. The armholes are done the same way

Right side: same as left side of the back.

Left side: Same as the right side of the back.

Nothing is done at the neck.

Bind off on row 97.

Sew sides and shoulders.

Finish with a row of single crochet with main color.

1 row of single crochet with contrasting color and

1 row of reverse single crochet.

When making the front crochet, make chains (for the buttons).
