Sirdar Got Tickets Granny Tee Jumper Crochet Pattern

Sirdar Got Tickets Granny Tee in Stories DK

What Is Being Made

The Sirdar Got Tickets Granny Tee (Design No. 10559) is a crocheted summer top available in three size ranges: UK 6-12 (US 2-8), UK 14-20 (US 10-16), and UK 22-28 (US 18-24). The finished garment widths range from 41¾ inches to 58¼ inches, with full lengths between 21 and 24 inches. This intermediate-level crochet project creates a lightweight, comfortable tee perfect for warm weather wear.

Techniques and Construction Methods

This crochet top is constructed using a combination of professional techniques to achieve its polished finish. The garment is worked flat in separate pieces, then seamed together for a structured result. The design features prominent stripes created by working with multiple yarn colors throughout the pattern. Additionally, sections are worked in the round to create seamless cylindrical portions of the garment. The construction follows a bottom-up approach, meaning you begin crocheting from the lower edge and work upward toward the neckline and armholes.

Stitches and Crochet Techniques

While the specific stitch abbreviations are detailed in the full pattern instructions, this intermediate-level design utilizes fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for creating a structured, wearable garment. The pattern is graded across multiple sizes, and Sirdar's design team has triple-checked the instructions to ensure successful completion when using the recommended yarn and tension specifications.

Materials Required

This pattern calls for Sirdar Stories DK yarn, a cotton-rich acrylic blend that creates lightweight garments ideal for summer wear. The yarn maintains its shape while offering the cool comfort of natural cotton. You will need:
