I have looked high and low for a crochet pattern for a traditional waistcoat, i have found a gents fisherman's waistcoat on the Homespun site but not quite what i had in mind.
Has anyone come across one/has one?
It's not easy being this perfekt

Try searching for vest instead of waistcoat, as that is the US term.  The crochet terms will be US, but they're easily translated.

I like both of those @sewmuchmore.  Not quite what I was imagining.  The resulting fabric looks quite substantial and stable.

I love the idea of a *crocheted* tuxedo  :laughing:  What would James Bond do?
