Cloudspotter Tee Kit

About Cloudspotter Tee

The Cloudspotter Tee by Lindsey Newns, the crocheter designer behind Lottie & Albert, has dreamt up a boxy striped tee that epitomises laidback summer style. It features simple stripes, cuffed sleeves and is worked in moss stitch. The basic panel construction and shaping-free design make it ideal for beginners.

The T-shirt is crocheted in rows, bottom up, in two panels which are then joined at the shoulder and side, creating a drop shoulder. A cuff is added to the sleeve after joining.

Follow along with designer Lindsey Newns as she completes her Cloudspotter Tee design! You can find useful videos and written tutorials on all the techniques you’ll need to help you crochet the boxy striped tee. Find all the information and more here.

Introducing: By Hook

By Hook, a first for The Fibre Co, is a summer crochet collection featuring laidback layers and pretty-yet-practical accessories from top designers. All five beginner-friendly designs were inspired by wildflowers, picnics, and the magical light of golden hour. Think long, lazy afternoons spent outdoors in the sunshine. The chosen palette of Meadow and Luma yarns includes sky blues, botanical greens and pops of warm bright tones like flashes of meadow flowers in long, swishing grass. Lighter natural fibres and airy stitch patterns result in a collection of easy-to-wear complementary crochet pieces perfect for sunnier days. These patterns are suitable for crocheters looking for a new adventure, and knitters who may be new to the craft.
