Sundial Tee

This week I shared a stash busting top from Wool & Pine. Yesterday they introduced a brand new stash busting top.

The pattern for the Sundial Tee can be purchased on Ravelry.

Stash meet summer. Sundial Tee takes the bold, rhythmic colorplay of our Sundial Wrap and reimagines it as a easy, stash-friendly top with mosaic-knit stripes and clean, tailored finishing. This is a design built for sock yarns, handspun, advents, or whatever you have hanging around—and it makes every bit of it look intentional.

Worked flat from the top down with short row shoulder and neckline shaping, Sundial Tee offers a polished fit and a playful spirit.

Pair it with the wrap or let it shine solo—either way, it’s stashbusting in style.

Stripe Smart You only need around 6–13 grams of fingering-weight yarn per color, per stripe—ideal for scraps, minis, handspun, or even that tiny leftover skein you couldn’t bear to toss. Approx per-stripe yardage by size:
6 (7, 8, 8, 9, 9)(10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13) grams per 36-row interlocking stripe

Construction Overview

Sundial Tee is worked flat (all knits, no purls) and top-down in two pieces, beginning with a provisional cast on and short row shaping at the shoulders for a contoured fit. The back is worked in mosaic stripes, ending with a clean 2x2 ribbed hem. Stitches for the front are picked up and shaped to match. Once front and back are complete, sides are joined to the underarm using mattress stitch.

Neckline and sleeves are picked up and worked in the round with simple ribbing for a polished, wearable finish.

Why You’ll Love It

• Mosaic knitting made easy: One color per row, slipped stitches, no floats to catch.
• No Purls: Enough said.
• Stash-friendly: Use scraps, minis, advents, handspun—anything fingering weight.
• Tailored construction: Flat-knit shaping and clean seams give a beautiful silhouette.

Today was the annual Heritage Days parade. The larger floats were lined up on Wilson Street in front of the store. It took almost an hour for the parade to get past the start because there were some many floats. The streets were lined with people. 

This is the float from Bennett’s Apples. We grew up next to the farm and I remember this tractor when Papa Bennett drove it around the farm. It has been restored and looks awesome.

Dad, Beth and the dogs are enjoying the weather at the cottage. Lots of fishing and lots of napping.

I want to say that I am catching up on sleep while they’re away but the darn hockey game went into overtime last night. Hopefully I’ll get to bed a bit earlier tonight.
