Today we are going to knit something that you can wear in this hot season: a hippie crochet vest because bohemian fashion and the 60's never go out of style and this year we remember them with a very fresh garment. Bohemian-style vests are a classic in the closet of any girl, but also of any woman, no matter how old she is, especially if it is a crochet fabric, since they are so light and striking that they go well with any outfit. That is why today we will show you a tutorial so that you can learn how to weave them and use these fringes this season or any time.

SIMPLE HIPPIE CROCHET VEST. The first hippie crochet vest is the simplest, because we are only going to knit a folder on the back, a strip on the waist and a pair of suspenders on the front, of course we must not forget the fringes that will complete these cute bohemian vests For each of these, we are going to need: 500 grams of yarn in raw or brown color 1 crochet hook of number 6

To begin we are going to knit a simple mandala, starting with 8 chain stitches, closed with a slip stitch, then knit 16 double stitches, two in each chain stitch. For the next one, knit 4 chain stitches and join them to the previous round, leaving 4 free stitches , you should have 4 arcs left. Knit 8 double crochets over each arch and move on to the other hoop with 4 chain stitches, repeat these rows until finishing the folder, which should be as wide as your back.

CROCHET HIPPIE WAIST VEST To make the waist you can knit several 5 cm square motifs and then join them, or you can knit a 70 cm long strip in chain stitches, then knit a row of half double crochet only or two rows of half stitches. To continue knit 15 cm of the following pattern 1 double crochet, two chain stitches and one double crochet, leaving two free chain stitches between the double crochet and double crochet.

When you finish the 15 cm you only have to knit two more rows of half double crochet, or one row of double crochet. Then join this strip to the back, you will have a couple of big pieces left over for the front, so weave two strips like the one on the waist but with a width of 7 cm each and 15 cm long. Join all the parts with slip stitches, from the back.

When you finish joining, you only have to knit the fringes of this hippie crochet vest, for this you only need to fix a 15 cm piece of wool with a slip stitch, continue fixing several pieces around the waist like this, if you want you can put these fringes on the lapel of the vests.
