If you’re on the hunt for a chic yet cozy crochet project, the Pachira Tee by Audrey Trecasse is the perfect pattern to add to your collection. Designed with ease and comfort in mind, this tee offers a stylish, modern look that feels just as good as it looks.
Oversized Comfort: The Pachira Tee is designed to be worn with 15 cm (6 in) of positive ease, giving it an effortlessly relaxed, oversized fit. Perfect for those days when you want something comfortable but still trendy.
Minimal Seaming: One of the best features of this pattern is how little seaming is required. The tee is crocheted in one panel, sideways, and you’ll only need to seam up the sides. This makes it an enjoyable project for crocheters who like a bit of simplicity with their garments.
Versatile and Stylish: This tee can be dressed up or down. Whether you’re lounging at home, going out with friends, or layering it over a cute dress, it’s versatile enough for various looks and seasons.
Helpful Tutorials: The pattern includes photo and video tutorials, making it easier to follow along and understand any tricky sections. It’s a great option for crocheters who prefer a bit of guidance as they work.
Sizes: Available in a wide range of sizes, from 28-30″ chest up to 56-58″ chest, so this pattern can be tailored to fit a variety of body types.
Yarn: The tee is worked in Galileo, a sport-weight yarn made of 50% Merino wool and 50% viscose from bamboo. The blend of natural fibers gives the top a soft, breathable, and luxurious feel that’s perfect for warmer weather or layering.
Yardage: The pattern requires between 1150-2090 yards of yarn, depending on the size you choose.
Hook Sizes: A 3.25mm and 3.5mm crochet hook is recommended, giving the tee a light, airy feel that’s still substantial enough for a wearable garment.
The Pachira Tee is a must-try for crocheters looking for a stylish, wearable project that doesn’t sacrifice comfort. The minimalist design, combined with the soft yarn and positive ease, makes it an ideal piece for a relaxed yet fashionable wardrobe. Whether you’re new to garment-making or an experienced crocheter, this tee is a great way to step up your crochet skills and create a beautiful, practical piece that you’ll love to wear.
