The Perfect Striped Tee crochet pattern by Jerica Tompkins captivates with comfortable wear and a classic look. It comes in a simple three-colored striped design, form-fitting cut, and short, stretchy sleeves. Style it with your favorite pair of jeans or shorts to create a nice casual look!
Can Beginners Make this Crochet Striped Tee?
In this crochet short-sleeve top pattern, the designer uses the Waistcoat Stitch to create a dense knit-like fabric. It’s a perfect project for beginner crocheters who would like to get familiar with this technique (video tutorial included with the pattern).
The garment features a straightforward construction and easy colorwork, making it a no-brainer pattern for those with more experience.
Yarn & Crochet Hook Size
The Perfect Striped Tee is made of medium-weight yarn, which makes it a versatile outfit to wear during the summer, spring, or even the fall season.
The sample seen in the photo was crafted with Lion Brand ZZ Twist, which is no longer available. Instead, you can choose any other 100% acrylic aran yarn that you will find in your local store or go for these substitutes: Red Heart Soft, Caron Simply Soft, or Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran. These yarns will go well with a 5 mm crochet hook.
How to Crochet This Breezy Tee
This tee crochet pattern works up from the bottom up into two identical panels using single crochets and single crochet below stitch (Waistcoast Stitch). Finishing sleeves with cuffs is optional, but it will definitely give this piece extra flair.
Is the Pattern Size-Inclusive?
You will find this pattern in three different sizes: XS/S, M/L, and XL/3XL. If you are not a fan of tight-fitting garments, you can easily size it up to get some positive ease. Before getting into this project, measure your bust to determine your best size option.
Can I Crochet This Tee Without Stripes?
In this crochet top, the striped design leaves so much room for creativity! You can try out a new color palette or go for your favorite shade combinations. Love basic modern styles? Skip the stripes and make this handmade tee in one solid color.
