A classic raglan tee, but make it elegant. With a pretty eyelet detail at the shoulders and a statement panel down the front that features both lace and cables, this tee is anything but basic. I chose to knit mine to a slightly cropped length, a style that I find I’m reaching for more and more these days. Knit in my favourite fingering weight yarn, this tee is my new summer staple.
The sweater is knit with fingering weight yarn.
Lynn worked for me today. I did running around this morning and overdid things. I came home and worked from home before a nap. Lynn is going to swatch Noro Silk Garden Solo for the sweater. It is a bit thicker than fingering so we’ll see how it works.
Midsommar is a simple, classic tee worked from the bottom up, with the option for a sleeveless or short sleeved version. Starting with a split bottom hem worked flat, the body is joined to work in the round up to the sleeve split. The fronts and backs are worked flat, with neckline and shoulder shaping. Shoulders are joined, then stitches are picked up to knit your preferred sleeve option, then finally neckline stitches are picked up.
This pattern is designed to be worked in different yarn weights from DK to aran/bulky. This is a great opportunity to stash dive and play with different yarn combinations to create an interesting and unique fabric. The yarn you choose will change the fabric of your final garment- bulkier yarn or yarn held double will create a thicker fabric while a thinner yarn will create an airier, more open fabric. You only need to make sure to match the stitch gauge to make sure your tee will fit properly. The row gauge is less important as you can knit more or fewer rows as needed to achieve the length required. Pattern instructions are given with length measurements to make this easy to follow regardless of your row gauge.
