free crochet pattern | aubery yoke tee

The delight of a happy accident in the world of designing can never been understated.

This small and pretty crochet design was originally supposed to be a necklace but the yarn used had a high silk content and this led to an overly drapey finished item which was going to be immediately scrapped.

However it turned out so pretty, I couldn’t bear to abandon it, and after blocking I sewed it onto a white pullover and accidentally created the Aubery Yoke Tee.

The pattern originally featured in Inside Crochet Magazine, Issue 65, July 2015 and it fits in perfectly with summer crochet looks because it can be attached to t-shirts, dresses and also light sweaters - perfect for the changeable British summer weather!

You will need a small amount of your favourite yarn in either 4ply or DK weight. The sample is made with 4ply yarn and a 3mm hook but the pattern works equally as well with DK weight yarn and a 4mm hook.

I used Fyberspates Scrumptious 4ply in the colour Water (304) - 55% wool, 45% silk - and after blocking quite aggressively attached it to a light cotton mix pullover from H&M.

The pattern has been sitting, waiting patiently for ten years for me to get around to writing it up and launching it as a standalone pattern. I worked the pattern through a couple of times and corrected some small errors and you can now download it for free via Ravelry here.
