About the Crochet Nivis Tee
The crochet Nivis Tee is the perfect cozy garment for your wardrobe, & let’s fill it with crocheted clothes.
To crochet this top you have to have a bit of crochet experience since the skill level is intermediate. However I would absolutely say that if you’ve crocheted a few projects already, this might still feel like a rather easy project, especially if you’ve tried crocheting cables.
The crochet Nivis Tee comes in 9 sizes from XS – 5XL & there’s also suggestions on how you can adjust it to fit you perfectly!

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the different sizes are given in parenthesis like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each round, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
- The 8 stitch wide cable on the yoke & arms will be made using the round repeats listed in the stitches you will need section. In the instructions you’ll only find the word “cable”.
- This pattern is made with turning rounds through the whole pattern.
