This crochet pattern is for a men’s t-shirt, with an intricate design of diamonds and leaves. The design is created in dc stitches and chains. The shirt features a deep opening at the front, with button holes to allow a shoe lace fastening. The sleeves continue the diamond and leaf design. The shirt if finished off with a shirt stand up collar.

The pattern was designed using a DK cotton on a 4 mm hook. The yarn is smooth to the touch and easy to use. The garment is made in four pieces and then sewn together. The instructions include lots of detail to ensure complex shaping is made easy. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate.

I have listed this pattern as “Advanced” because of the lace style crochet instructions and shaping. The design comes in five sizes, Small (88cm. 34.5in), Medium (96cm, 38in), Large (104cm, 41in), XL (112cm, 44in), and XXL (120cm, 47in). Due to the nature of the design, each pattern is unique.
