Vesuvius Tee - Crochet

This is not a learn-to-crochet class.

Join Sarah (@swardsarah on instagram) in making this beautiful crocheted tee! The Vesuvius Tee is made top-down with a drop-shoulder construction and has perfectly fitted shoulders to eliminate excess fabric around the underarms. The Tee features a textured and airy stitch, which is perfect for summer garments, a wide over-sized fit and a split high-low hem; all finished with an elegant edging. Best part? Vesuvius is truly size inclusive with a design that ensures that the shoulder drops roughly in the same spot on all makers, regardless of their size. The details in this Tee will have you reaching for it time and time again!
