Circular Crochet Vest Pattern: Eyelet X Round Technique

Crocheting can be a wonderfully creative and fulfilling hobby. If you're looking for a new technique to try in your crochet projects, the eyelet X round technique is a beautiful and intricate design element that can add interest and texture to your work. In this article, I'll explain the step-by-step process of working the eyelet X round technique, focusing specifically on the circular crochet vest pattern.

Before we delve into the technique, I want to mention that there has been a revised copy of the circular crochet vest pattern. The new version has eliminated unnecessary wording and simplified the instructions, making it easier to follow along. If you haven't received the revised copy, I recommend checking your email for an updated version.

Now, let's get to the eyelet X round technique. This technique involves creating X-shaped stitches by working front post triples and skipping stitches behind them. To understand this technique, it's essential to start on page three of the revised pattern, where you'll find the section titled "Eyelet X Round." This section provides a step-by-step breakdown of how to create the eyelet X round.

To begin, chain one and work a front post triple crochet around the legs of the third single chain on the eyelet round three rounds below. This front post triple acts as the starting point for the X-shaped stitch. Next, chain one and work another front post triple in front of the last front post triple you just made. This time, work the stitch around the legs of the second single chain.

To form the X shape, you'll need to skip the next three stitches behind the front post triple X you just created. Count three stitches behind, and then single crochet in the next two single crochets. By skipping these stitches, you create space for the X to stand out.

Continue following the directions in the pattern, which involve skipping single crochets, working front post triples, and single crocheting in specific stitches. This pattern of skipping and working stitches is what forms the intricate X-shaped design.

It's important to note that the eyelet X round technique is relatively simple once you understand the concept. The pattern guides you through each step, making it easier to follow along. However, there is a note in the pattern that mentions using the chain two made at the beginning and the last single chain made at the end of the round to create the last front post triple X. This is applicable in certain sizes, where an extra single chain is present. By utilizing the chain two and the last single chain, you can complete the X-shaped stitch.

In conclusion, the eyelet X round technique is an exciting and visually appealing addition to the circular crochet vest pattern. With the revised copy of the pattern in hand, you'll find it easier to understand and follow along. Remember to take your time and refer to the step-by-step breakdown of the technique. Happy crocheting!
