Designed by Maria Collarte of Lola Crochets
The Sol Tee is an innovative knit-look project that is crocheted sideways in one single panel. The yoke is created with short rows and the sleeves and front/back panel are joined as you go. This means that the end result is almost a fully closed tee, with minimal sewing to complete. Other features include a lower neckline at the front, two body lengths and two sleeve lengths (short and mid-length).
The pattern includes multiple photos and videos (20 to be exact!), it’s size inclusive, ideal for intermediate crocheters and written in US terms. You can also alter the body or sleeve's length: the pattern will show you how.
A conversion chart for US to UK crochet terms is included in the pattern.
