When I set out to design this tee, I knew I wanted to create a simple, boxy look that would be a great top to pair with jeans or shorts in the warmer months! I tend to wear tops that are a little more on the cropped side, but I wanted a design that would look great both cropped and longer in length! This design is super simple, beginner-friendly and uses super bulky yarn (you can also use lighter weight yarn held doubled or tripled up!) so it works up VERY quickly!!

The pattern is written with sizing for XXS/XS, XS/S, S/M, M/L, L/XL, XL/2X, 2X/3X, 3X/4X & 4X/5X and has lots of photos to guide you along the way!

Estimated circumference of finished shirt: XXS/XS (32”), XS/S (36”), S/M (42”), M/L (45”), L/XL (48”), XL/2X (51.5”), 2X/3X (58”), 3X/4X (61”), 4X/5X (64”)

Estimated length of finished shirt: XXS/XS (17.5”), XS/S (18.5”), S/M (18.5”), M/L (19.5”), L/XL (20.5”), XL/2X (20.5”), 2X/3X (20.5”), 3X/4X (21”), 4X/5X (21”)

My patterns also include a full measurement guide “index” at the end of the pattern with photos of my testers, which size they made, and their measurements to help you decide which size will be right for you! I also included yarn recommendations from my testers to get you started!

Materials you will need for this pattern include

• Yarn Type: Super Bulky (6) or Jumbo (7) yarn that recommends up to a 15mm crochet hook on the label. I used Premier Home Cotton XL but you can also hold multiple strands of lighter weight yarn together for this project. For example, 2 strands of bulky (5 weight) cotton held together or 3-4 strands of aran/worsted weight yarn held together. Just be sure to check your gauge. See page 14 of the pattern for a list of recommended yarn!

• Yardage: XXS/XS (345), XS/S (375), S/M (405), M/L (435), L/XL (465), XL/2X (495), 2X/3X (525), 3X/4X (555), 4X/5X (585) - If you choose to hold two strands of yarn together you can double this number, if you choose to hold 3 strands together you can triple it, etc.!
