Hi there, if you’re here for your first time, welcome! I just finished a new crochet tee pattern.
So as the pattern contains tapestry crochet it is considered that this is not for very very beginner, but tapestry crochet only uses basic stitches, such as single crochet, half double crochet, or double crochet. So, this technique is totally accessible to beginner crocheters.
It’s a simple two panel project, but you still end up with cute summer crochet top / vest.
And to decorate the edges I recommend to do a blanket stitch edging and create the eyelashes (optional).
If you’re interested in purchasing this crochet tee pattern or any of my other patterns in a downloadable, printable PDF format, they’re available for purchase on my Payment Page below.
A pattern is created in the fabric by changing yarn/colors multiple times within a row By following a chart where each square represents a double crochet, you will know when to change colors
I recommend to highlighte your size to avoid mistakes.
Materials:
Yarn Weight 2: Fine-Sport ( I used yarn with lurex) Grey 200 (250,250,300,300,350,350,400,400) g or 700 (875, 875, 10501 1050, 1225,1225,1400, 1400) yards
Black 50g or 175 yards
Pink 50g or 175 yards
A little bright pink for blanket stitch

Fasten off, leave a long tail for seaming last row to the back panel.
Back Panel
Make the base chain 102 (122, 142, 162). The first 99 (119, 139, 159) chain stitches make the foundation chain, while the last 3 make the turning chain) in gray color.

Rows 3-56 (62, 68, 72): Repeat Row 2. Fasten off.
Assembly
Block your panels to the measurements listed above.
Lay your front and back panel together, correct sides facing. Line your stitches up from both panels evenly. Seam the first shoulder together working through both panels using your method of choice. Repeat on opposite shoulder. (Pic 2)
Join yarn at the bottom hem of the panels. Seam the sides together from the bottom up. Do not seam all the way to the top. Leave a 7”/18cm, (8”/20cm, 9”/23cm, 10”/25cm) opening for the arm hole. Repeat on opposite side.
