Both! The Yolanda Shirt is a true unisex design that looks great on men and women alike. The clean textured stitch and relaxed button-up shape suit any wearer, and with 9 sizes from XS to 5XL fitting a 28" to 62" bust / chest, it's easy to find a flattering fit for anyone — it also makes a lovely handmade gift.
What skill level is this pattern?
The Yolanda Shirt is an advanced pattern — ideal if you're comfortable reading patterns and seaming. That said, every special stitch is fully explained, and you'll have written instructions, step-by-step images, exclusive video tutorials, and threading charts to support you. Helpful skills include basic stitches, counting stitches and rows, and mattress stitch.
What yarn and hooks do I need?
The shirt uses Scheepjes Cotton 8 (186yds [170m] / 1.8oz [50g]). Suggested substitutes include Rainbow Cotton 8/4, Paintbox Cotton 4-ply, Cotton Kings 8/4, and Rowan Summerlite 4-ply — most heavyweight cottons work well. You'll need an E/3.5mm main hook (or the size needed to meet gauge) and a C/2.75mm hook for the border, plus 6 buttons (14–18mm), stitch markers, a darning needle, scissors, and a measuring tape.
How much yarn will I need?
Main-colour amounts range from approximately 1135yds [1035m] for XS up to 2085yds [1905m] for 5XL, with every size listed in the pattern. You'll also need 75yds [70m] / 0.7oz [20g] of your border colour for all sizes.
What sizes are included?
The pattern comes in 9 sizes, XS to 5XL, fitting a bust / chest from 28" [71cm] up to 62" [158cm]. A full size guide with per-size garment measurements is included inside the PDF.
Will I receive the pattern immediately?
Yes! This listing is for a digital crochet pattern (PDF), not a finished garment. You'll get an instant download after purchase, so you can start crocheting right away.
What extra support is included?
Beyond the written instructions, you'll get step-by-step images, exclusive video tutorials, threading charts, and a detailed tester lookbook showing the shirt made up in different versions to inspire your own.
