As I’m finishing the edging on my afghan and working on my hat, I’m pondering what I’d like to crochet next. I’m thinking of making myself a crochet vest.
I like this pattern, but definitely not the colors used in the picture. So, I tried out a few samples in colors I like:
Square #1 is done following the directions on the pattern with colors I like. Square #2 is a similar double crochet square from one of my crochet motif books. Square #3 is a traditional granny square. It turned out too big, so if I use it for the vest, I will probably leave off the last round. But I plan to use the light green rather than the dark green, so try to picture it smaller and without the dark green. 🙂
So, Crackpots, what do you like?
I couldn’t get to the pattern without registering at the site, which I decided not to do. That, however, will not stop me from expressing my opinion. 🙂
I think I like #1 and #2 better than the traditional granny square. That’s odd, since I love being a granny.
#1 gives a somewhat more tailored look than the others, so maybe I like that one best.
I do like your color choices. I think you could wear the vest with a white or yellow or blue shirt. Or light green, but that’s a less common color in shirts.
I like #3 because I like the 4 colors. I don’t think I would like it as much in jut 3 colors. Of the other two, I like #2 best, but I have no idea why.
