Click here to <3 this pattern on Ravelry
Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: fuchsia ( color A ), pink ( color B ), white ( color C ). ( 250 gr for the sample – size XL/ 100 gr or 393 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitch used:
2dc – V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space.
This crochet candy ripple tee pattern fits size XL ( chest size: 40 to 42 inches )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
