Lace women’s sweater vest crochet pattern – motifs stitch
Step-by-step crochet instructions
To make this sweater vest, it is necessary to crochet 18 motifs and join them together as you work the last round, leaving spaces for armholes and neck.
Step 1
First motif
Make a foundation chain of 7 chains (count all the loops including the loop on your hook) and join it into a ring with the slip stitch. Insert a hook into the very first loop, grab the yarn, and pull it though the loop on your hook.
Step 2
1st round – sc2 into each chain to end of the round plus sl.st.1 into the 1st chain of the round.
2nd round – ch6, [trc1, ch2] to end + sl.st.1 into the 4th chain (You should have 11 trcs)
3rd round – ch2, CL*, ch3, sk2, [CL1, ch3, sk2] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd chain
4th round – sl.st.1, [sc1, ch3, sk3, (dc2, ch3, dc2) into sm.ch, ch3, sk3, sc1, ch5, sk3] to end + sl.st.1 into the very first sc chain of the round
5th round – sl.st.3, ch3, dc3, ch3, sk1, dc4, ch3, sk5, sc1, ch3, sk5, [dc4, ch3, sk1, dc4, ch3, sk5, sc1, ch3, sk5] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch.
6th round – ch3, dc4, Vst.1, dc5, ch3, sk1, sc1, ch3, sk3, sc1, ch3, sk1, [dc5, Vst.1, dc5, ch3, sk1, sc1, ch3, sk3, sc1, ch3, sk1] to end + sl.st.1 into 3rd ch.
Step 3
2nd and all other motifs
Repeat 1 – 5 rounds (step2). Join motifs from one or more sides while working the 6th round.
Step 4
Ribbing
Make a foundation chain of 17 chains.
1st row – insert a hook into the 2nd chain from your hook and work sc one into each chain all the way across. At the end of the row, work one returning chain.
2nd row – insert a hook into the 2nd chain from the hook and work blsc to end of the row + RC1
Crochet all other rows as the second one. After you crochet 100 rows, join the very last row with the first one. Then join the ribbing into a garment.
Step 5
Neck and sleeves edges
Work slip stitches to end.

I enjoyed making these motifs

I enjoyed making these motifs but decided to make it as a cardigan instead of a top. I made it and attached them to fit me as they are motifs so easy to make (easy when you know how). Thank you for these easy instructions. To double check, I use the auto translate setting and make notes as we do it together, step by step!
