I am so excited to present to you the Willow Tee! The PERFECT Spring/Summer knit! Knitted using DK yarn, she is lightweight but with a cozy vibe that is sure to get you plenty of compliments! This tee is super versatile, designed to give you ample opportunity to experiment with colour if you wish, but is also a great pattern for a solid colour knit! And if you’re wanting to make a tee that’s fun and colourful, but still economic and quick to work up, then an ombre or variegated colour-changing yarn is the way to go and will look absolutely stunning!

This pattern is knit mostly in stocking stitch, but includes some intermediate-level stitches and techniques (M1L, M1R, k2tog, ssk, picking up stitches, placing stitches on hold). Video tutorials for all these techniques are included in the pattern to ensure it is beginner friendly! If this is your first knitting project, I would recommend getting comfortable with casting on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, working 1x1 ribbing and casting off before attempting this pattern.

This pattern has been tested in sizes XS-4XL. I want this pattern to size inclusive, but unfortunately, I was unable to find any testers for size 5XL. If you would like to make this size, please reach out to me before purchasing the pattern, and I will be happy to gift it to you in exchange for your feedback!

The pattern calls for 4mm and 5mm needles. If you are a tight knitter and want to achieve the intended loose fit, it would be beneficial to size up your needles, and continue to check your gauge as you go. If necessary, it may be worthwhile to knit a larger size.
