I like to crochet with thread, but one can only use so many doilies, so I decided to crochet a lacy edge on the neckline and sleeves of some t-shirts.
First I cut the neckline down
Then I cut a few inches off the sleeves
Then I pinned a hem on the cut edges...
And worked a blanket stitch all around so I would have something to crochet into.
Now for the fun part... Single crochet, chain 3 all around
And again
Repeat until the lace is the size that you want
You can match the thread colour to the shirt like this...
Or you can change it up, and even crochet appliques to add, like this...
It's just a fun way to work simple crochet onto an everyday t-shirt .
I hope you enjoyed my post for @needleworkmonday started by @crosheille and perhaps you will give it a try! Thanks for looking.
Oh my I am in love with this Anise!! This is so creative, chic and original! Now I want to dig out some old T-shirt’s and do this!
Okay I must be slow today. How did you get the stitch holes in there at the beginning to do the blanket stitch? I am so excited about this technique! 🤗

Thanks Crosheille. It is so easy too. I did the blanket stitch with a needle and thread. Just make sure the thread is very long to start...like 4 or 5 feet, or you will be making lots of knots and restarts. Blanket stitch uses lots of thread.

Thanks @bedoodle for your kind words. I have been working with thread for several years. The trick is to keep some tension on it by wrapping it around your fingers as you crochet. It's very similar to yarn otherwise.
