Oversized Spiral Mesh T-Shirt

This crochet pattern is for an oversized men's round neck t-shirt, with spiral square motifs and an open mesh. The body shape is square and the sleeves are large and baggy. The T-shirt could be worn as is in hot weather or over another top to add a bit of colour. The design is made from the squares outwards, so up to the neck, down to the hem and out along the arms. There are only two seams across the shoulders. The pattern was designed using DK (8 ply) cotton, but this is thinner than acrylic or wool. It could be made in 4 ply cotton where thicknesses are similar. The instructions include lots of detail to ensure shaping is made easy. There is a photographic and chart guide for making the Squares There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. I have listed this pattern as "intermediate" because of shaping and pattern techniques. Recommended Yarn DK cotton, Small 400g Large 500g XXL 600g
