Top, Shirt "Kim" - A Casual Reversible Shirt

Why a reversible shirt? I like both sides of this shirt so much that I couldn't decide which should be the inside and which the outside - that's why I sometimes wear it like this and sometimes the other way round, turned inside out.

The shirt has a very casual look thanks to the classic and airy braided pattern and the straight cut, and men can also wear it perfectly.

Great to combine with jeans, slightly more elegant trousers, a slim long skirt or dress, etc. Also great to wear with a long-sleeved shirt underneath on cooler days.

The shirt consists of a front and back part. As the seams are crocheted together at the end (explained in detail in the instructions), no sewing is necessary.

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

The instructions are very detailed over 20 pages and include text, numerous step-by-step pictures as well as several crochet patterns and a pattern with the exact measurements.

Previous knowledge required: Chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet, front post and back post double crochet. All stitch types are also explained in the instructions.

Suitable for beginners as long as you are comfortable with the types of stitches indicated.

Size Information

As the top is very oversized and fits loosely, I have combined 3 sizes. In the instructions you will find the sizes S/M/L (36-40) and XL/XXL/XXXL (42-46). If you need the top in a size other than the sizes given, you can alter it accordingly. As the pattern is very straight, this is relatively easy - you can also find out how to do this in the instructions.
