PATTERN NOTES
We think the universe needs more crocheted garments – wouldn’t you agree? The Big Bang Tee is your answer. This tee features a glittering, all-over chevron pattern that is perfect for a night of stargazing. A subtle shift in the color of contrasting stripes doesn’t overwhelm the overall stitch feel. On the contrary, it enhances the pattern!

This top is worked flat from the bottom up and seamed using whipstitch. This would be a great sweater for those fairly new to crochet, as the construction is simple and there is minimal shaping.
