Oh, how I have been wanting to share the Crochet Tunic Tee. This pattern works up quickly for a top and is quite easy to make. And honestly, I think it will look wonderful on most. 

Just crochet up the two rectangles and sew them together. Add your sleeves and your pockets and you are all done.

I have added some simple but stunning details in the ribbing on the sleeves, pockets and edge, plus an easy scoop neck. Just add a chunky necklace and a pair of leggings to complete the look. What would you where with this top? Let me know in the comments below.

For this pattern I used Lion Brands Jeans Color and this yarn is absolutely stunning. I really wish I had given it a try before now. It makes this top feel like a high quality T-shirt. The Capri color is so vibrant and the little flecks of white in the yarn gives this tunic top a lot of character. This top will be perfect for spring, summer and early fall. I have already worn it many times!

Notes:

• I do not count my turning chain as a stitch.
• Your Stitch count will not vary through out the project.
• Sizes only vary by the starting chain count and how many middle rows are worked in the middle. There will be notes to indicate when to add extra rows for larger sizes.

Feel free to add extra rows to your tunic to add extra length or less rows to shorten the tunic. If you adjust the row count, make sure you make the adjustments to both pieces of the Tunic Body.

Sewing your Crochet Tunic Tee Together

To sew your Tunic together, first lay your two body pieces scoop neck sides together and sew the Double crochet and half of the Half double crochet together at the corners. You can use either a whip stitch or invisible stitch to sew this seam. 

This seam is indicated by the red line below.

Learn more about sewing crochet together with this Video Tutorial.

Next, you will line your sleeves up with the center of the sleeve on the shoulder seam. Sew the sleeve to the body of the tunic. This is indicated by the teal line above.

Last, you will fold your tunic in half along the shoulder seams and sew from under the sleeve down the side of the tunic. I stopped before the ribbing to create a hip slit. This is indicated above by the pink line.

Now sew your pockets on the front and your Crochet Tunic Tee is completed. I paired mine with black leggings and teal flats. I would love to hear what you would wear this top in the comments below.
