DESCRIPTION
The Klassic Granny Tee is a loose fitting, no sew, easy to crochet mesh tee that is cool and comfortable to wear. I designed a unique granny square motif to add interest along the hemline and convey a special story, or yarn, for me. (The inspiration and name for this tee, which you might enjoy reading about, is explained in the pattern.) A simple finishing stitch is used around the neck and armholes for the perfect edging. This tee is easy to customize for your perfect fit.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL - Advanced Beginner
The mesh stitch is a very beginner friendly stitch and makes up quickly. The granny motif takes a little extra crochet knowledge, hence the “advance” rating. There is a YouTube video and picture tutorials in the pattern to guide you through the granny square process so if you have some basic crochet knowledge you should be able to make this tee.
