I dreamt a little dream… I wanted a simple, top down, set in sleeve, basic tee pattern, a work horse sweater, that I could create and morph into many variations.

This pattern is designed and written for you to make it your own. If you knit it in its most basic form, it is a stockinette stitch, basic fitted crewneck in a solid color. But really, there’s nothing stopping you from creating the tee of your own dreams, whether it is striped, has a button placket or is plain crewneck, color blocked, tipped…you choose!

This is a fitted layering tee pattern designed with +/- 1-2”/2-5cm positive or negative ease, depending on the fit you like.

Sizes available: 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60, 64)” / 81 (91, 101, 112, 122) (132, 142, 152, 162) cm

Sport weight yarn, yardages by size as follows (for long sleeves): 865 (960, 1050, 1150, 1275) (1400, 1560, 1720, 1890) yds/ 790 (878, 960, 1050, 1165) (1280, 1426, 1573, 1728) m
