Your First Crochet T-Shirt: A Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

[@lesliebowles3649]

Thank you for this very cute and simple pattern. You could make one in different colors and stripes or variegated yarn and it wouldn’t even look like the same sweater. Could even make longer sleeves. So versatile! ❤

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That's what I was hoping for! To give people a blank canvas they could then take and run with! The options are only limited by your creative ideas. 🤗❤️🧶

[@lisaschneider5800]

Today I decided I wanted to make a crochet t-shirt top, & the first notification I get is that you have a new video. It is just what I am looking for!! Thank You for creating this - perfect timing!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

How crazy! It was meant to be. 🤗❤️🧶

[@juneknight9586]

I want to make this tee shirt with variegated yarn. Great job, Tiffany! Thank you not being afraid to do new stuff. 🦒By the way, the zoo in my city, Tucson, has a baby giraffe who was born on MLK Day! He's so cute! His name is Moyo because he has two distinctive heart shapes on his neck. Moyo is the Swahili word for heart. I love to learn from your videos. Thank you for taking your time to share what you learn.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

You are most welcome @juneknight9586! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos. I think using a variegated yarn would be extremely pretty! And CUTE! I love giraffes. 🦒. They are one of my favorite zoo animals. 🤗

[@jjwood4]

I love this pattern. It’s my next project. Only change will be to make my front and back panels the same length as that style works best for me! I love all your videos, Tiffany. Thank you for making such informative tutorials as well as bringing new ideas, yarns and projects to your channel. I live in Arlington, Tx so we are almost neighbors. Happy hooking! 🤗

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I think that is a great adjustment!! Love how you are already making it your own! Getting those creative thoughts going. 🤗🧶❤️

You are very kind Tiffany to create this tutorial.❤

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

[@rickyl8359]

Hi, Tiffany . . . I’ve made a lot of shawls, scarves and wraps, but, have not made a t-shirt or dress, yet. You have encouraged me to at least try and I thank you for your excellent tutorial. Most likely, my top will be a tunic length garment to go over my leggings (at 75, I need all the coverage I can get). 🤣 Again, Dear One: Thank you for your kindness and patiently clear tutorial . . . I appreciate it very much. 😘❤️🌹

[@user-ck4el2cc9b]

Hi there! I used to crochet with my index finger hooked to keep tension like you do. I have found myself learning a different way so that I don't end up with arthritis when I get older. 😊

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

[@RebeccaMundschenk]

@@CrochetWithTiffany yeah, once I realized it, I made the switch. It's slowed me down, and sometimes when I'm doing small work my hands just naturally go that way. But I know it's better for the long run!

@@CrochetWithTiffany but I want to make the T-shirt and don't have but a little bit of the 3 weight I used on the blocks. I know I can't buy any more yarn. What should I do?

[@tracee93]

Thank you for sharing this pattern. Would you recommend using a size 2 yarn?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Absolutely if you would like a light feel. Size 2 weight yarn makes beautiful wearables. Because the yarn is thinner the result of the top will be smaller. If you’re ok with that then go for it! If you want the fit to be the same as what I represent you will want to add more stitches per row and more rows per panel. 😊❤️🧶

[@beckymccray6768]

Good morning Tiffany! I have always had this question, is there an easy way to know what side of a skein to pull the thread out to use from the center, and not pulling the thread from the outside of the skein?? I have a horrible time of finding the thread in the center of the skein!!! Any advice is greatly appreciated!😊❤

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

This is a great question! I have found that some yarns I prefer to pull from the center and other yarns I prefer to pull from the outside. After playing with a couple different skeins you just figure this out from experience. So, I have ways of working with both. If a yarn is easily pulling from the center then I will go with that. It I am having trouble finding the center then I will pull from the outside but put my yarn on a yarn holder, like a wooden spinner (amzn.to/3yaagQw) or they have the genie (amzn.to/3Lx7wQ6). I hope this helps. 🤗💖🧶

Tiffany, how do I measure myself correctly so I get the proper fit of my shirt as I'm making it?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

GREAT question! In the pattern there is a chart with a bust size dimension. I would suggest measuring yourself around the largest section of your torso, whether that be your bust or your belly so you can ensure the most comfortable fit. Then go with the size that will provide you with a little wiggle room so it's not too tight. 😊❤️🧶

There is a way you can add a collar though, with this design I don't think it would be very comfortable. You would just count the number of stitches around. Add a stitch for each join. Make a collar section separate and then join it to the hole at the top of the shirt.

Girl you got this! Making wearables is similar to making larger blankets. The panels are larger and then you join them together. So while it is a simple construction, yes, it does take a little longer to work them up. But you can do it!
