Hello again! I have now made this waistcoat for my dad (95) and now making for my father in law (91). Now, as you can see, I also have one - LOVE IT! but also a great one for older gentleman who just want to keep cozy. It does NOT look like ladies' waistcoat (made sure buttons were on the correct side!) - just thank you again, Carrie for this wonderful inspiration for lovely older men in my life xx (I used to be MadamC, but my KZfaq went all weird and had to create new account) x

I have just finished this wonderful waistcoat/vest. It is far lovelier than I imagined it would be. I used the 5mm hook, so it is very thick (perfect for days like today). Also, I made it in XL but ended up doing more decreases along the armhole - as I have fairly narrow shoulders and without doing this, the shoulders stuck out too far). Anyway, just wanted to say how very pleased I am and thank you x

I love wearing a vest in winter. Keeps my back nice and warm. Thank you for sharing this.🇨🇦

This is just perfect for some stash yarn I've had since last fall.🧶🍂 Thank you😊

Cozy vest! Great layering piece! Thank you for sharing!❤

Pretty vest! I especially like the pockets - who doesn’t always need more pockets?!

Me again! I have just adapted this wonderful patter in bulky yarn for super thick gilet. Stitch used was sc and hdc. I have used one of my originals of this pattern for measurements. It has worked out wonderfully on 12mm hook - thick and fab for chilly evenings about to start. Love waistcoats because cardigan sleeves can get in the way - this is a true body warmer. Thank you Carrie for the inspiration - couldn;t have done it without you xx

Thank you so much for your teaching, so clear and so helpful ❤.

I began this pattern yesterday, and it's so easy to follow, and I'm only a beginner! Thank you so much for it, especially since it looks gorgeous. I'm glad I picked this one for my first big project that'll be wearable.

Fabulous Gilet - great fit, very practical but so stylish. Great for walking dogs - or just keeping warm at home without baggy sleeves of jumpers getting in the way of washing up, etc xxx Thank you x

Carrie, this vest is gorgeous & it looks great on you!!🤗😍

Lovely! Christmas present sorted! Couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

thank you so much for this! i’m currently halfway through and the pattern alongside this video has been super easy and understandable! ❣️

Aww I really like this ❤ thank you for sharing your talents with us all 💕💕

Just love this gilet on the hook at the moment. I've made a few of your creations Carrie and everybody admires them. Thank you!

So nice! Would make an awesome cardigan!

Yay, the long awaited vest!!! Thank you!!! 😊

In the written pattern- you have decreased on both sides of the front panels- just like the back panel. I do not believe that was your intention LOL. Might want to correct that. As always, your work is awesome and I so appreciate your sharing your patterns! Thank you!

I love this vest and all your designs. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

My suggestion for next project: batwing pullover sweater.

Very, very nice! Subtle yet chic ❤

Ohh thank you been waiting for something like this 🤗. Can't wait to make it.

It is nearly impossible to find a vest pattern that isn't all mucked up with 'stuff'. Thank you so much for this pattern.

Wow 👌 very beautiful sweater design is 👍👍

Love this! Can't wait to fi ish some other projects to make this for me! Or, will I wait?!

🤩😍Wow. Looks great

I love your patterns and have made several sweaters thanks for the great work

Love it!

Love it. Wonder if I shall add sleeves

Hi Carrie. Love this as does my niece 😂 so I have started making her one - was wondering if I could add arms in the same way as your other tutorials by laying out the vest and matching the center of a separately crocheted sleeve to the shoulder seam … 😊😊 hoping this will work 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi Carrie , missed your tutorials...l would like a calf length vest ( sleeve less cardi)

I love it xxx great vest xx thanks for all your great videos xxx

Really wish you showed how to make the front as it isn’t exactly like the back as you don’t decrease on one side. Not beginner friendly imo.

Got any more masculine patterns got a guy to make presents for yule?

Thank you

Hey Wonderful simple design. I 'm very very beginner how much time it took you to complete? & what you say how much time it will take for beginners to make it?

what is the measurement of the back panel?

I would love as your next project vest but like winter fitted vest top....hmm....I hope you know what I mean 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Could you please tell me how to decrease front panels? I could't work it out ( have read the pattern ) as you only decrease one side unlike back panels. I 'm baffled. Thanks in advance.

It’s lovely, thanks for the tutorial - added to my “to do” list 👍x

What to do with size medium

Lovely design ❤️ I have a quick question about the hook size? On the video you have a 5.5mm down but on the written pattern it says 5mm? Thank you

DOES ANYONE KNOW?? For the written pattern, are sized like women's sizes or unisex? I'm trying to make this for my dad and he usually wears Large, but is the pattern to fit a lady only? Should I make the XL instead? 🥲🥲🥲

I’m so sorry but I got confused a little… when you started, was that the back panel you were crocheting or the front hand panel?

☺☺☺☺

Goodwill

👌🏻😃💓

Hello I would love to try this, how many stitches would I need for a size 16/18 ? X

For some reason this is not playing

Turkish subtitles please. Thanks 👏
