Hello, Love this vest pattern but am off to a rough start on this. I am a very experienced crocheter but am not visualizing what this first row is supposed to look like. Could you please clarify a few points for me? On the chain 7 part, are we to make that one loop in the 3rd chain st. then chain 4 and slip in the next chain on that chain 7 part or go down to the next stitch on the long base chain? Also, am I to understand that the 3 berry stitches are all done in the one chain stitch? a close up pic or chart would be helpful. I feel I’m going into this blind. Thanks
Hello, I love this vest, I’m trying to get it started, I was wondering if there was a image pattern.
Thank you 🙂
Loving this pattern so far. It’s super mindless once you get going! Next time I’d use a lighter color though, the burgundy makes it harder to see the flowers.
