Materials Needed:
- Wool (200g, 5-ply cutting yarn in black and white colors)
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
Measurements Needed:
- Chest circumference (divide into four sections)
- Length from shoulder to desired shirt length
- Arm circumference (divide by two)
Pattern:
Starting the Project:
- Make a magic ring.
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Within the magic ring, add two more double crochets.
- Chain 1 and then add three double crochets into the ring to form a cluster.
- Repeat step 4 until you have five clusters within the magic ring.
- Chain 1 and slip stitch into the third chain from the beginning chain 3 to close the round.
Building the Body:
- Determine the length from the underarm down for size medium (e.g., 13 inches, resulting in 61 chains).
- Chain 61.
- Double crochet into the first chain, treating the chain 3 as the first double crochet.
- Create clusters by double crocheting in stitches across the chain — skip two stitches, and in the third stitch, create another cluster until the end.
- As you reach corners, chain 1 and place another cluster in the same space to turn corners.
Sleeves:
- Once reaching the desired length for the body, measure for the sleeve, stopping between the 7th and 8th row for this size.
- Do not increase at the armhole — focus on increasing other sections to continue the body.
- Work on each side individually, then connect them to form the armhole.
Creating Panels:
- After completing the sleeve, work on the front and back panels separately, following the established pattern of clusters and increases for corners.
- Add 10 inches to each panel based on the chest measurement of 21 inches (for medium size).
Inserting Color and Finishing Touches:
- Introduce color changes where desired, creating a striped effect.
- After both panels are completed, work on joining them at the shoulders and sides, leaving openings for the arms.
- Add 3-4 additional rows to the bottom of the shirt to finalize the back length.
- Create the collar by attaching yarn at the neck edge and creating clusters around the neckline.
- Finish the edges with a single crochet border and add buttons for closure.
Final Touches:
- Weave in all ends.
- Sew on buttons as desired along the front edge.
- Attach your personal label if you have one.
