This crochet pattern is for a classic t-shirt, with a bold, colourful neck piece and finishing.

The t-shirt is made in a yoke style, by completing the neck first and working in a circle until meeting to form the arms.

The design features a number of crochet design elements to create the decorative neck piece. All techniques are described in full and complex shaping is illustrated with images and charts.

There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. The pattern includes one size neck piece size with adjustments made in the body.

I have listed this pattern as “advanced” because of shaping and pattern techniques.

The pattern requires 7 x 50g dk cotton in White, plus one ball of blue, red, black, green, orange, yellow, and beige
