Design & Construction

The Babydoll Tee is worked from the top down, beginning with a raglan yoke. This means you can try it on as you go and adjust the length of both the bodice and the skirt to suit your style.

The top portion is worked in extended single crochet, creating a smooth, slightly textured fabric that provides structure and coverage. Once the yoke and bodice are complete, the pattern transitions into a V stitch, giving the bottom portion a light, airy drape that creates the signature babydoll flare.
