What exacly do you mean by a 'grandad waistcoat'? The wooly type of thing or the silk (or similar) typeof thing which used to be worn by stationmasters, etc. If it's the latter, try here:

I must learn to read questions properly before answering them. (Or I should stop posting to AB after opening a few cans!). I scanned your question and completely failed to see that you wanted a knitting pattern rather than a completed waistcoat. Now, my Mummy always said to say sorry and to make amends, so here goes:
"SORRY" and I hope that this link from the Victoria & Albert Museum helps. (See the pattern at the top right as well as the information at the bottom of the page):

It's also worth remembering that many charity shops have hundreds of knitting patterns for sale (but you may have to ask for them - they're rarely on display).
