The raglan-sleeved T-shirt is worked from the top down using double crochets, starting with the neckline ribbing. The shirt features colorful stripes, with the yarn color changed at the back piece and sleeve junction at each new round. During the first four rounds, the front panel is crocheted with short rounds: instead of double crochets, single crochets and half double crochets are worked. After the short rounds, the yoke and bodice are crocheted with double crochets. Reinforced edges are worked on the sleeve cuffs and hem to keep the shirt structured.

The shorts are worked from the top down with double crochets. Begin by crocheting the waistband ribbing, fold it double, leave a gap in the front for inserting elastic, then continue with the body of the shorts. Double crochets are increased in the front and back for shaping and ease, and chain stitches are added at the crotch for fit. The legs are crocheted straight. One inset pocket is crocheted on the back, and one or two patch pockets on the front. Always fasten off when changing colors — this way, you avoid a tangle of ends at the end of the project.
