Crochet: Lace Circular Vest (a doily to wear!)

Rainbow Willow lace

Sometime in 2015, a friend of my aunt’s asked if I could make her a “lacy sweater thing that looks like a rainbow.” She showed me a photo of a circular vest and my mind went, “ohhhhhh” and my mouth went, “YES!” I had known for a little while that I wanted to convert one of my doily blanket patterns into a wearable accessory.

For this version, I decided to use Anya and Red Heart’s Unforgettable yarn. I made some notes about my adjustments and prayed it would fit. I didn’t really have any sizes to go by, just estimations. When I gave it to her, she immediately put it on and…it fit! I was so relieved.

I had plans to edit my pattern and include the adjustments, so folks could make a vest if they wanted to. Maybe include instructions for making different sizes, because ‘Anya’ is mostly concentric circles and it was easy to place the armholes wherever I needed them.

Fast forward two years and my cousin asks if I could make a circular vest for her daughter to use as a swim coverup. I think about the one I made in 2015 and realize I never transcribed my notes. Actually, where IS that notebook? WHAT NOTEBOOK DID I EVEN USE?! You can probably imagine me tearing through every notebook I’ve used in the past few years. I.could.not.find.my.notes. I had to start from scratch.

I asked my cousin for size examples (so I can google size charts! I love that brands have their size charts online) and favorite colors. She said teal, pink, and purple were favorites and I spent the weekend looking up yarn choices. After checking out Unforgettable again, I realized it would be a little heavy for summer time use. Plus, I made an adult size vest, last time, and I needed one to fit an eight year old.

I ended up coming back to Lion Brand’s Shawl in a Ball a lot. I bought two different colors from Craftsy: Restful Rainbow and Lotus Blossom. The latter was almost exactly the same colors my cousin specified. I was so happy when they arrived!

I sat down to make the vest and realized I wanted to use Willow instead of Anya, this time. I used a 6.0 mm (US J/10) hook and started. Since my son is only a few months older than my cousin’s daughter, I decided to use a t-shirt of his to estimate when/where I would need to place the armholes. I simply laid my work on the shirt, the center of the circle a little below the center of the chest. I wanted the armholes to be on the top half of the doily, not right at the center, so the diameter of the circle needed to be bigger than the width of the chest.

When I got to the size I needed, I figured out where in the round I wanted to put the armholes. I decided that the beginning of the round should be in the bottom half, so I worked a small part of the round, then made a long chain and skipped a good amount of the repeats, then started again. I worked the pattern until I got to where I wanted the second armhole. I made another chain, skipped repeats, then finished the round. Armholes! I had armholes. I lined it up with my t-shirt and it was a pretty good match, so I moved on to the next round.

This round was a lot easier than I thought it would be. When I got to the chains, I just worked them like they were regular stitches. However many repeats I skipped in the row below, I just made that many repeats in the armholes. After the round, I counted the stitches (stitch counts are listed at the end of every round) and it matched up. Wheeeeewww!

I finished the rest of the pattern. I didn’t add any extra rounds, but I DID decrease the number of DC stitches in the scallops of the last round. I went from 12 to 8! I had only a few yards of yarn left, so this was a good adjustment! Plus, the round worked up far more quickly. I’m happy to report the vest fit, not only my son, but my cousin’s daughter, as well!

I’ve added these adjustments to the pattern on Ravelry (willow-web-alt.pdf), putting in the specific directions I used. I would LOVE to have other sizes, but I haven’t been able to find the time to try and work them out, plus I don’t know if it would be possible with this yarn, since it feels more lightweight than worsted. The diameter of the doily, laid flat, is 32″. The bottom of the armholes are about 16″ apart. The tops are 9.5″ apart. Maybe a larger hook would make a larger doily? If someone has a teen they want to make this for, try a 6.5 mm hook! If you want to make it for an adult, you may need to find a thicker yarn and use a 6.5mm or a 7.0mm hook. I would love to see any vests you make!

  • Pressure is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The symbol for it is “p” or P. The IUPAC recommendation for pressure is a lower-case p. However, upper-case P is widely used. The usage of P vs p depends upon the field in which one is working, on the nearby presence of other symbols for quantities such as power and momentum, and on writing style.

    In a static gas, the gas as a whole does not appear to move. The individual molecules of the gas, however, are in constant random motion. Because we are dealing with an extremely large number of molecules and because the motion of the individual molecules is random in every direction, we do not detect any motion. If we enclose the gas within a container, we detect a pressure in the gas from the molecules colliding with the walls of our container. We can put the walls of our container anywhere inside the gas, and the force per unit area (the pressure) is the same. We can shrink the size of our “container” down to a very small point (becoming less true as we approach the atomic scale), and the pressure will still have a single value at that point. Therefore, pressure is a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity. It has magnitude but no direction sense associated with it. Pressure force acts in all directions at a point inside a gas. At the surface of a gas, the pressure force acts perpendicular (at right angle) to the surface.[citation needed]

    A closely related quantity is the stress tensor σ, which relates the vector force {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} }\mathbf {F} to the vector area {\displaystyle \mathbf {A} }\mathbf {A} via the linear relation {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =\sigma \mathbf {A} }{\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =\sigma \mathbf {A} }.

    This tensor may be expressed as the sum of the viscous stress tensor minus the hydrostatic pressure. The negative of the stress tensor is sometimes called the pressure tensor, but in the following, the term “pressure” will refer only to the scalar pressure.[citation needed]

    According to the theory of general relativity, pressure increases the strength of a gravitational field (see stress–energy tensor) and so adds to the mass-energy cause of gravity. This effect is unnoticeable at everyday pressures but is significant in neutron stars, although it has not been experimentally tested.

  • An important physical property characterizing the flow of liquids is viscosity. Intuitively, viscosity describes the resistance of a liquid to flow.

    More technically, viscosity measures the resistance of a liquid to deformation at a given rate, such as when it is being sheared at finite velocity. A specific example is a liquid flowing through a pipe: in this case the liquid undergoes shear deformation since it flows more slowly near the walls of the pipe than near the center. As a result, it exhibits viscous resistance to flow. In order to maintain flow, an external force must be applied, such as a pressure difference between the ends of the pipe.

    The viscosity of liquids decreases with increasing temperature.

    Precise control of viscosity is important in many applications, particularly the lubrication industry. One way to achieve such control is by blending two or more liquids of differing viscosities in precise ratios.[29] In addition, various additives exist which can modulate the temperature-dependence of the viscosity of lubricating oils. This capability is important since machinery often operate over a range of temperatures (see also viscosity index).

    The viscous behavior of a liquid can be either Newtonian or non-Newtonian. A Newtonian liquid exhibits a linear strain/stress curve, meaning its viscosity is independent of time, shear rate, or shear-rate history. Examples of Newtonian liquids include water, glycerin, motor oil, honey, or mercury. A non-Newtonian liquid is one where the viscosity is not independent of these factors and either thickens (increases in viscosity) or thins (decreases in viscosity) under shear. Examples of non-Newtonian liquids include ketchup, mayonnaise, hair gels, Play-Doh, or starch solutions.

    MetaMask Extension is and how easily it can add to your trading experience, then you probably wish to use it on your device as well.

  • To maximize your chances of receiving high scores and achieve the fastest clicks per second, choose a time interval of 5 seconds. 5 seconds is the time set as a default and will allow you to obtain the best CPS scores that you can. With any other selection of time beyond the default of 5 seconds, the CPS tester will not be able to provide you with the most accurate result to your capabilities. We consider 5 seconds to be the most appropriate amount of time to test as anything longer will result in your finger being slowed down over time. It is best to use the lesser interval for the most accurate results.

    Our CPS tester is free and can be taken as many times as you would like. To restart, click on the “Try again” button and you can practice several times to try to improve your score and your click speed ability. A score of 6 to 9 clicks per second is considered to be a good click speed and is the average scored rating. Did you know that the world record was 14.1 CPS, according to Google? Take part in the speed clicker test experiment and be prepared to compete with formidable players, and beat the best scores on the net!
    Our tips for always clicking faster

    We have a few helpful tips for you to achieve the best scores possible. There are techniques and body positions that allow you to always click faster. To date, several methods are recognized to help you improve your speed of clicks, but the best advice we can give you is to always have your hand relaxed. By using two fingers, you can become even faster. Make sure that the distance between your finger and the mouse are minimal to save time and increase the amount of possible clicks. Be sure to press the button gently and not too hard as you may cause the mouse to move and slow down the frequency of the clicks.

    Our last recommendation would be to consider the kind of mouse that you are working with. We recommend that you bring a specialized gaming mouse that will help you increase your click rate by being more flexible and more suitable. Make sure your mouse is correctly installed and is fully optimized for its sensitivity settings to be able to participate in our CPS test. And, be aware that the keypad touch screen of a laptop computer is less powerful than a mouse.

    It is important to note to our users that you may benefit from a strong internet connection. As the test is played online, it is necessary to have a stable internet connection.

  • An NPI number is a unique ID for each provider or entity and is required to be used by all healthcare plans for every administrative and financial transaction. Health plans used to assign their own ID numbers to each health care provider. The result was that every provider had to use a different ID depending on which health plan they were submitting claims to. The universal NPI number has made billing and tracking more efficient.

    The NPI number is used with any electronic transaction identified in HIPPA. It may also be used by healthcare providers to identify themselves or other providers in healthcare transactions or related correspondence; by physicians on prescriptions; by health plans in their communications and transactions; to coordinate benefits with other health plans; to identify health care providers in electronic patient medical records; by the Department of Health and Human Services to track providers in fraud and abuse cases, and other functions.

  • The ABA routing number was developed by the American Bankers Association in 1910. It identifies the specific financial institution responsible for the payment of a negotiable instrument.

    Originally designed to identify only check processing endpoints, it has evolved to designate participants in automated clearinghouses, electronic funds transfer and online banking. The ABA routing number has changed over the years to accommodate the Federal Reserve System, the advent of MICR, and the implementation of the Expedited Funds Availability Act and Check 21.

    An ABA Routing Number can be issued only to a federal or state chartered financial institution which has been determined to be eligible for a master account by a Federal Reserve Bank. The assignment of a routing number does not expand or change in any way the powers of the financial institution as specified in its charter. For more details, see the entire Routing Number Policy. Once in receipt of the assigned routing number, the financial institution must actually be granted the master account at one of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks in order to have direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment systems and to settle transactions with other participants in the central banking system.
