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 measure 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.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
- The t shirt is made from two matching panels for the front and back that are then seamed together for the shoulders and sides.Â
- A ch1 or ch3 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
- The top is worked from the top down.
- Turn your work at the end of each row.

Foundation chain: ch 60 (69,78,84,93,102,108,117,126)
Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook and each along 59 ( 68,77,83,92,101,107,116,125)
Row 2: RS: ch3 (does not count as stitch), tr in next 2, *ch1, skip 1, tr in next 2, rep from * to end.
Row 3: ch1 (does not count as stitch), sc in each across.

Repeat the cuff eyelet pattern 2, (2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4) more times to complete the panel.
Finishing
Joining the panels and creating the top:
To create the shoulder seams – with RS facing inwards (so that the seam is on the inside), join 12 (16,21,24,28,33,36,40,45) stitches at either side of the Foundation Chain to create the neck hole. You can either use a slip stitch or sew to join, whichever you prefer.
To create the side seams – with RS facing inwards, starting from the bottom of the middle section (before the cuff section starts) upwards for 18 (18,19,19,20,20,20,21,22) rows. This creates the armholes.Â
