With a straightforward in-the-round construction and a striking stripe pattern, this tee is satisfying to knit and looks fantastic. Recommended for our Spring Cotton 8 ply.
Knit in the round from the bottom up, with integrated sleeves (not added separately). Contrast colours are broken off at the end of each round, while the main colour is carried along to avoid ends. Primarily in stocking stitch. Cuff and neckband are added at the end before seaming.
22 sts and 30 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch using 4.50mm needles.
This pattern is designed for Spring Cotton 8 ply. Any of our 8 ply (DK/Light Worsted equivalent) yarns could be used with this pattern but will give a different result.
1 pair each 4.00mm and 4.50mm knitting needles and 4.00mm circular needle, 1 stitch-holder, stitch markers.

Slipping stitches (sl), passing slipped stitches over (psso), yarn forwards (yfwd), placing stitches on a stitch-holder to knit later, picking up stitches around neck and cuff. Carrying yarn along the inside of your work to avoid weaving in ends.
