Basic T-shirt in Crochet

AUGUS T 1, 2018

The Summer is almost gone, so I grabbed my hook

and I made this Basic T-shirt in Crochet to have it on
the days left.

You can purchase the easy printable pdf version of
this pattern here.

Last week I was renoveted my bathroom, so I didn’t

had time to post anything. But here I am with a new
summer project that I hope you will enjoy.

Is a simple yoke T-shirt, worked from top to

bottom. Is easy to make and you will find here all the
info that you will need to make it.

I designed this pattern for sizes from S to 2X, but

you can adjusted as you want or need.

Now let’s talk about materials you will need:

I used Scheepjes Whirl in color Dark Grape Squish

and a 3.5 mm ( E size ) crochet hook. You will have to
work looser. 1 whirl will be enough for any size, but if
you want to make changes, as make the Basic T-
shirt in Crochet longer or with longer sleeves, for
bigger sizes, 1X and 2X you will need some
additional yarn.

If you want to use another yarn use a similar weight

as baby or sport or even fingering.

You will also need 4 stitch markers and scissors.

You can purchase the easy printable pdf version of
this pattern here.

If you choose to use another yarn here is the

approximate amount of yarn that you will need:

S – 150 grams / 680 m / 740 yds

M – 160 grams / 730 m/ 790 yds
L – 170 grams / 780 m/ 850 yds
1X – 190 grams / 830 m / 910 yds
2X – 200 grams / 890 m / 970 yds

The final measurements of the Basic T-shirt in

Crochet are in the next sketch
Gauge

18 dc = 10 cm (4″)

10 rounds = 10 cm (4″)

Abbreviations used in this pattern:

Ch – chain
Dc – double crochet
St(s) – stitch (es)
Sl st – slip stitch
Inc – increase ( 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc)
Dec – decrease ( dc2tog – 2 dc work together
as a cluster)

Ok, now with all these things in mind, let’s begin:

We will work in rounds from top to bottom. Start

with the foundation chain:

S – 136
M – 146
L – 156
XL – 164
XXL – 172

After finishing the foundation sl st to finish the

round.

Round 1

Ch 2 (doesn’t count as a first dc), 1 dc in next 31 (34,

36, 38, 40) sts, 1 inc in the next st, 1 dc in the next 30
(32, 35, 37,39) sts, 1 inc in the next st, 1 dc in the next
36 ( 39, 41, 43, 45) sts, 1 inc in the next st, 1 dc in the
next 30 (32, 35, 37,39), 1 inc, 1 dc in the last 5 sts. Sl
st.

In each 4 ch 1 spaces of the increases put a stitch

marker.

Round 2

Ch 2, 1 dc in each dc until you get to the next ch 1

space. Here you will do the inc. Continue until the
end of the round.

Repeat round 2 until you have in total:

S – 12 rounds
M – 14 rounds
L – 15 rounds
XL – 18 rounds
XXL – 21 rounds

After completing these rounds, the yoke is done and

is time to separate the sleeves from the body of the
Basic T-shirt in Crochet.

Start the next round as usual. Make 1 dc in each st

until you get to the first corner. In the ch 1 space
make 1 dc. Then, to join with the front side make a
chain of:

S – 14 sts
M – 18 sts
L – 20 sts
XL – 24 sts
XXL – 26 sts

Skip the sts for the sleeve and in the second corner
make 1 dc. Continue with 1 dc in each st, until the
next corner.

Here we will proceed the same as we did in the other

side. Finish the round.

Now that we separate the body of the t-shirt from

the sleeves we can work the parts individual.

Using a color changing yarn I worked 3 rows on each

part just to make sure that the colors will be the
same.

I did this only until I finished the sleeves.

On the body I made a few increases. At every 3 rows 1

single increase / row ( 2 dc in the same st).

First inc I made it in the 10th st, the next one, after
another 3 rounds, in the 20th st and so on until the
end of the body. I made in total 33 rounds and you
will have to do 33 rounds for every size.

The length will be adjusted from the yoke. If you

want a longer t-shirt you can do more rounds.

Ok, now let’s see how we will work the sleeves.

We will start from the middle of the ch that we made

when we joined the back and front side.

We will work in rounds making 1 dc in each st. At

every 3 rounds we will make 1 decrease at the
beginning and at the end of the round.

We will do in total:

S, M – 12 rounds
L, XL, XXL – 15 rounds

After finishing the Basic T-shirt in Crochet we will

add a border on the neck line, bottom line and on the
sleeves.

On the sleeves fold 3 rounds and secure the fold by

sewing at the armpit.

Because we will fold the edges of the sleeves, work

the border on the wrong side.

For the border I used the last color in my whirl, but if

you work with a solid color you may choose for the
border a contrasting one.

And the Basic T-shirt in Crochet is done.

this pattern here.

What do you think? Looks nice isn’t it?

So, you’ll have to give it a try.

Bellow you will also find the video tutorial.

Enjoy Crochet !
