Crochet Boy Vest

This is an easy crochet vest sweater for the boys special’s added my new and ideal free sweater pattern in my directory for the mothers and other crocheted lovers who always to find a new and adorable things for the babies and children’s. It is perfect pattern both boys and girls. You can add this free pattern to the hat, and many other things very easy always love to share new different and modern crochet patterns. My hobby really to crochet things in different and easy way for my friends and other relatives.

I love to create easy patterns that are ideal for beginners, and more advanced. You will find collections of my favorite go-to crochet pattern from baby to adult, just like crochet blankets, crochet hats, cardigans, booties and other amigurumi and appliqué pattern. I crocheted things for those of you like baby items available in my blog with free pattern. Take a look and let me know if here are any things you like and enjoy the free patterns.

Instructions:  this is a free crochet pattern 4 to 5 years boy. It is very simple pattern can easy adjust in many other sizes. First make a band crochet/knitting if you know about knitting. This is a knitting band my mother knit it, but I added a crochet band pattern for you. It is 60 stitches I picked up and starting my work. I added a (seed stitch) in this vest sweater. It is very easy stitch with a single crochet and double crochet stitches. After completing the front and back part separately then sew the shoulder seems together and make the neck band with front post and back post stitches, then make the armhole to the same, after that sew the sides. I hope you like and enjoy the new idea to create in my mind.
