Abstract Face Tee Crochet Pattern for XS/S, M/L , XL/2X , 3X/4X sizes [FREE Crochet Pattern]

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.

Notes

You need to know

  • How to make intarsia crochet

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.

  • Black 50g or 175 yards
  • Pink 50g or 175 yards
  • A little bright pink for blanket stitch

  • 2.50mm Crochet Hook or other to archive gauge
  • Yarn Needle

Leaf


Using the grey yarn, make the base chain 5+1
Rnd : HDC in 2nd ch from hook, DC2 in next 2 st. HDC in next st, SC in next st. Now continue this Rnd to finish the circle, working into the back of the ch. CH3 and working along the other side of the ch – SC, HDC in next st, DC2 in next 2 st, HDC in next st, CH; join slip stitch into first CH (15sts). Finish.

Construction

Find the 16 stitches in on each side

The main body is 110 st and the pocket is 80 st, so find 15 stitches on each side and place the markers. Start by sewing just the bottom edge of the pocket. Sew the entire bottom edge (all 80 sts) to the corresponding stitches on the apron back. Then sew the right and left edge and divide the pocket into two parts by sewing in the middle (if you want two pockets instead of a large one).
Then sew the apple and finish with crab stitch into each stitch around the apron (and pockets).

Enjoy!
