The inspiration behind the Vee Tee Crochet Pattern was creating an easy one row repeat that makes the Vee Tee work up quickly. I also wanted to create a tee that had less sewing, I am not a fan of sewing.
The one row repeat is a very easy group of stitches that create the Vee Stitch. All it is is (dc, ch 1, dc) all in one space. That’s it.
The Vee Tee Crochet Pattern calls for a lightweight cotton yarn that makes this a perfect top that you can add to your Summer Wardrobe.

Today I would LOVE to share with you another free crochet pattern by Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs! The Nellie Summer Tee Free Crochet Pattern started with a new stitch, the N-Stitch. I learned the N-Stitch during the Spring while testing for another great crochet designer group, Sunflower Cottage Crochet.

If you have never crocheted the N-Stitch, I have a great one you can find on my YouTube Channel.
Easter and Spring is a great time to add new items to your wardrobe. My Fingers Fly is hosting an Easter Advent Calendar Event that has FREE crochet patterns to help you crochet these things.
Day 8 – Clothing
The Nellie Summer Tee Crochet Pattern is being featured in the Easter Advent Calendar Event along with clothing from My Fingers Fly. You can find free crochet patterns her, the Pinstripe Sweater and the Tutti Frutti Poncho.
My crochet pattern testers fell in LOVE with the N-Stitch just like I did! I would LOVE to give them a BIG shout out because they worked really hard on this design. There were many hiccups because of the trying times we are in right now. There were yarn delivery delays, finding time to finish the test, and just trying to function during these troubled times.
I appreciate EVERY single one of them! They are Jolanta Urb, Anita Reinisch, L. Holly George, and Laina Mann Malcolm. Below are their versions of the Nellie Summer Tee.

Leave a long tail for sewing shoulders closed.
Sides:
Lay Right Sides of the panels facing each other.
Use the Table at the top of the pattern for the size of your Armholes. I measured from the top of the panels and placed Stitch Markers where you will stop when sewing sides closed.
Start at the bottom of the panels and sew the sides together using the Whip Stitch, or Mattress Stitch until you get to the Armholes.
If you would like more room at the hips, leave a 2”-4” slit at the bottom on each size of the Panels. I made a 2” slits.
Shoulders:
Using the Table at the top of the pattern, find the size of the neck hole opening.
Place your Stitch Marker where you want to stop the opening on both sides of the top.
Sew the panels together using the Whip Stitch or whichever method you prefer to sew the shoulders closed.
