Printed crochet tee pattern
I’ve always loved the wild flower Shepherd’s Purse. Something about it sparked my imagination, miniature Shepherdesses with teeny leaf handbags I think. When I first saw this beautiful rustice laceweight yarn I knew I wanted to create a lace that complimented the wild rustic nature of it. The result of these experiments is an easy to memorise lace that quickly grows to become a tee/light sweater that will look as good over a shift dress as it does with jeans.
There is a definite trick to crocheting with a laceweight yarn. Choose a pattern that’s carefully written for it, one that’s going to grow quickly and not involve finding fiddly stitches. This pattern has just two rows to remember, works into chain spaces and uses trebles so it grows pretty quickly. The suggested yarn, kindly supplied by Daughter of a Shepherd, is just the right kind of crunchy to make it fast and easy to work too. It softens beautifully on washing.
And because we know you won’t all want to get your bellies out, it is available in both cropped and hip length version. Instructions and yarn requirements are given for both.
