Andrea's Tee Free Knitting Pattern
Another very special pattern designed by Andrea Yetman, combining her love of arisanal yarns and designing stylish knitting patterns. This pattern is available free of charge thanks to Biscotte Yarns and Louise Robert Design
''Andrea’s Tee was inspired by the yarn! I love an over sized drop shoulder construction, lace and Garter Stitch; so it was very clear what I wanted to knit with this beautiful yarn. This is a relaxing knit with just enough detail to keep you engaged! This is a great transition tee to wear between seasons.'' - Andrea Yetman

*Fabrics knitted with a silk yarn tend to stretch a lot when wet. Therefore it is imperative to check your gauge after washing / blocking. Also, if you hesitate between two sizes, opt for the smaller one.
SIZES: XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL) / 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44)/ FINISHED BUST: 42 (44, 46, 48, 50, 52) inches
This tee is knit top down starting with the back and then picking up stitches in the cast on edge of the back for the front. There is a little short row shaping for the neckline and for the hem. The tee is joined to knit in the round after the front and back pieces are the desired length. After the tee is knit there is no need to pick up stitches for the neckline or the cuffs of the sleeve. Once casting off at the hem the tee is complete!! Andrea’s Tee is meant to be worn with 8 – 10 inches of positive ease.
