The Lucky Shirt was inspired by a look on the show Emily in Paris on Netflix. Using Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton makes it not only classy in color, but also durable in wear. The crochet technique used minimizes ends while giving the illusion of a checkerboard with stripes.

Body of shirt is made in panels and seamed. Then, sleeves, bottom & neckband ribbing is added.

This shirt is designed with 8" of positive ease. Amount of positive ease will depend on where you fall within the size range: model is 5'3" with 34" bust, wearing size S.

To switch colors, pull through last stitch with new color for a less visible transition. Stripes consist of two rows.

Starting chains only count as a stitch during the checkered" pattern.

When slip stitching the border and sleeve edging, make sure its done on the wrong side.
