Enid Tee

This product is a pattern for a Tunisian Crochet Tee.

The Enid Tee is named after my 93 year old grandmother, Enid Ruby. Of course it’s not just her name but also the ruby colour of this fabulous yarn! This is a classic, unfussy tee that can be styled up or down depending on the occasion. The addition of a pretty lace yoke gives interest to an otherwise straightforward top-down make.

Enid Tee is worked top down using a cabled tunisian crochet hook. Rounds are joined with a connecting stitch which means there are no seams to join. The Tee is planned for summer yarns like cottons and linen but can be made in any fibre once a consistent gauge is met.
