CROCHET: Another variation of a waistcoat (or long sleeveless coat) to crochet using the venetian Square motif. [This is best described as a long vest /waistcoat but the pattern uses “sleeveless coat”)
Whatever you call it-this is a beautiful use of these intricate looking squares-which are surprisingly easy to crochet. They do have a complex byzantine look to them, but I prefer them in a plain yarn to the random dyed one the pattern is promoting. You could get a colourful boho look by using different colours too. .
The front falls open after the top motif, which is fastened with 3 buttons .This is an elegant style, perfect over trousers (pants) .
I have several patterns using this motif; other waistcoats are Z1023, the plain version and WZ749 which is similar but has a deep “V” neckline and a more ornate join to the squares.
