In typical Abbeymade fashion, the construction of the Vee Tee is pretty ‘out there’. Bear with me, there’s a method to the madness. Join me on an adventure!
#Abbeymade #VeeTee

Supplies
This project works partly in the round and partly in rows.
• 6mm interchangeable Tunisian hook with a cable at least 60cm/24in. This is for the front panel and other sections.
• 6mm double ended Tunisian crochet hook. You can work with a rigid hook or with two hooks with a cable in between. The RetP hook can be .5mm smaller than the FwdP hook. This hook is for working in a spiral using 2 strands of yarn on the back panel, the bottom torso and optional sleeves.
• Removable stitch markers
• Darning needle

Yarn
Miss Babs Yummy 2 Ply, fingering weight (Australian 4 ply), 100% superwash merino wool, 400y/365m/110g.
Sequins & Fringe, 3 skeins (size 3).

Sizes
This pattern includes 9 sizes for adults labelled as 1-9.
Aim to make the size that gives you a minimum of 10cm/4in positive ease on your widest body measurement (normally bust or tummy). There is no shaping in this top, so it needs to accommodate your widest body measurement.
Sample is size 3 with no modifications. Its final weight was 305g. Meterage is over-estimated.
Sleeve height / circumference and torso lengths are adjustable. Below measurements are a guide that I used to determine yarn requirements. Width can be adjusted by adding or subtracting Shoulder Rows.

Extra skills needed
You can practice these skills for free before you purchase the pattern. You will need to focus upon:

• How to work in the round with the spiral method starting with a magic ring.

• How to work in the round with the spiral method as a tube.
