cable vest


This vest is indeed my biggest project on crochet so far. I got the fabulous pattern from here. I started the project early this year and was stuck in the middle of my working due to having not enough yarn. Finally, the vest is finished in April! The vest has a knit look pattern which I like most! I've been wanting to learn knitting but haven't really got the chance to do so. InsyaAllah, I'll learn knitting one day!

this vest is rich in texture. There are skinny cables at the bottom, and X cables on top. I struggled with the pattern a lil bit since this is my first time crocheting something big. I also need to change the gauge by reducing the number of rows and stitches because the pattern use 4 ply yarn but I used 8 ply yarns instead. It was very challenging yet fun!

the most exciting part in making this vest is making the large cable with twist. I love cable pattern a lot and now that I know how to make it, I'm sure I'll be making it again and again!


I used 17 balls of these yarns: Cleckheaton Country Paintbox 8 ply, 100% wool, machine washable

There are also videos posted on youtube about how to crochet cable pattern. do check if you are interested!

*I hope the owner of this vest like it! Thanks for your patience:-)

happy crafting everyone!

    tq akak:-) (heh org puji benang tibe2 dia perasan org puji dia...keke)

    guna 17 ketul benang..dlm gambar tu 10 ketul je...benang ni agak pendek, 95 m satu gulung..sbb tu guna byk..

    kalau guna benang lebih kecil, rasanya 10 ketul cukup kot...(^_^)

    @ kak zaza-a ah byk guna benang..maybe sbb cable pattern, vest pun agak tebal sikit, tapi bagus sebab boleh tahan sejuk:-) tq kak zaza~

    @sindar-I love the colour too..but i guess this vest would be nicer is I use single colour yarn...baru nampak cable jelas sikit..selamat crochet ya...i'll learn knit too one day...

    @kak aisyah- tq akak..i love it too!
