This crochet pattern is for a man’s t-shirt that starts with vertical stripes around the neck and shoulders and then continues onto horizontal stitching around the torso. The pattern is made in three pieces (body and two arms) which are sewn together. The pattern is designed using DK cotton, so the t-shirt is light and cool.

The instructions include lots of detail for stitch placement, with diagrams to assist. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. You are purchasing the .pdf pattern only, which includes full written instructions. You will receive five versions of the pattern, one for each size.

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