Wave Tee Pattern: Fast & Fun Knitting Project

Leave a reply
A woman standing in front of a light-colored wall, wearing a burgundy short-sleeve sweater and dark denim shorts. She has blonde hair and is holding sunglasses in her right hand while a black handbag is slung over her left shoulder.

Yay for fast knits! The Wave Tee is designed with a bulky weight textured yarn similar to Estelle Breeze, so it’s sure to work up fast on 6mm/US10 needles. For a smoother texture try holding 2 strands of Sandnes Garn Line together (you can also leverage this option and hold two different colours together to get a marled look). The pattern is simple and elegant with a boat-neck and unfinished edges, and it works up quickly!

Construction

The Wave Tee is worked seamlessly from the top down with a boat neck. Short rows are worked at the neck to raise the back. The yoke is shaped first with increases for the sleeves and then with raglan increases. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Sleeves are worked at the end, and instructions for either a short sleeve or a long sleeve are provided.

Note on Tension

Cotton yarn stretches when washed and with wear. Make a 5″ x 5″ swatch and wash and dry it before measuring your tension. If your tension is coming out tighter than the pattern’s gauge (for example, you are getting 13 or 14 sts = 4″) then go up a size in the pattern.

Yarn Options

  • For a slightly NUBBLY texture, try Estelle Breeze: 3 (3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5) skeins (consider choosing one size larger in the pattern to get the best fit with this yarn, and get an extra skein to make longer sleeves)
  • For a SMOOTHER texture, try holding 2 strands of Sandnes Garn Line together: 6(7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11) balls (plus an extra 2+ balls if you want to add long sleeves).

Summer Knitting: Explore the Ranunculus Pullover

Leave a reply

Ranunculus

Ranunculus is a great summer knit! It’s made with needles that are a bit larger than the yarn, so it’s a nice, light, open weave. Sandnes Garn Line is the perfect summer yarn, it’s soft, light, washable, and has a little texture to keep things interesting. You can make it with long or short sleeves, whatever makes you happy!

CONSTRUCTION

Ranunculus is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches. The yoke pattern is designed to look like wearing layers of a necklace. Short rows are added between neck ribbing and yoke pattern not only on the back bit also on the front, so that the neckline has a bit of a boat neck shape and the yoke pattern has a necklace look. The round yoke has ample depth, and the finished pullover has cropped length so that you can lay it over dresses or high-waisted skirts and pants. If crops aren’t your style, please adjust the body to your favorite length. You can choose from a smaller or wider neckline, and short sleeves or long puff sleeves with/without a diagonal cuff line.

Bea Top Pattern: Easy Boatneck Tank

Leave a reply
A woman standing on a street, wearing a brown sleeveless top and blue wide-legged jeans, holding a woven bag and a denim jacket.

Bea Top

The Bea Top by PetiteKnit is a great simple, summer tank! I love that it has minimal finishing and simple, clean edges. Make it with Sandes Garn Line or Sandnes Garn Tynn Line (two strands together for the latter to get a marled look). This is a great project for newer knitters, since boat-necks require very little shaping.

Construction

The Bea Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and the work is then divided into the front and back yoke which are each worked separately back and forth in stockinette stitch with decreases along both sides. The top is shaped at the top of the yoke by means of short rows to create the boatneck.

Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Make sure to wash your swatch before taking the gauge measurements, as the recommended yarns might grow with wash and wear. Note that the size of the top will increase by a couple of cm an inch or so with wear after wash and blocking – keep this in mind when choosing which size to knit.

Size guide
The Bea Top is designed to have approx. 8 cm [3¼ inches] of negative ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 8 cm [3¼ inches] smaller in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished top can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A top in size S has a bust circumference of 82 cm [32¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 8 cm [3¼ inches] of negative ease.

Provence Top

The Provence Top is a pretty lace top, perfect for spring and summer! The Provence Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round, then it is separated for the front and back, that are worked flat. Then front and back are sewed together on shoulders. Sleeves are worked in the round from armholes.

We suggest using Sandnes Garn Line, a soft, machine-washable blend of cotton, linen and viscose.

Cumulus Tee: Summer Knitting Made Simple

Leave a reply

Cumulus Tee from Petite Knit

The Cumulus Tee from Petite Knit is a super simple and elegant top that’s great for summer knitting & wearing. It’s worked in stockinette stitch and has a rounded V-neck in the front. The sleeves are elbow length, and all edges are finished in i-cord. The Cumulus Tee is made in one piece from the top-down and requires no finishing work at the end, so chances are you’ll actually finish it THIS summer. It’s worked at a tight enough tension that you won’t need to wear a cami underneath – another summer bonus. Since it’s made from the top, you can make it as long or cropped as you like, and modify the length of the sleeves to suit your taste.

NOTE: technique tutorials for this project are available from the designer’s website HERE

SABAI Top Knitting Pattern | Ideal for Beginners | Knit with Sandes Garn Line

The SABAI top is a light and airy summer top with a boat neckline. It’s super easy to knit, requires only a few techniques and is therefore ideal for beginners. You can make it with the ribbed collar or just stocking stitch for a simpler rolled edge. I recommend using a DK weight cotton blend like Sandnes Garn Line, for a light, cool, easily washable summer knit.

Two knitted garments laid flat, one in a burnt orange color and the other in a light beige, positioned on a white jacket.

Construction

The SABAI top is worked seamlessly top down. First, the neckline border is worked in the round in a 1/1 rib stitch pattern and increases are worked for the slanted shoulders. For the armholes, front and back parts are worked separately back and forth. The stitches of front and back are then joined and worked in the round again. The top ends with a narrow ribbed border with a rolled edge. As the top is knitted from the top down, it is possible (and advisable) to try it on while knitting so that the length can be individually adjusted.

Techniques used: left- and right-leaning knitted and purled increases.

  • The top can be worn snug with approx. 0 – 2 cm / 0 – 0.8” positive ease, but also works well with a little more room to move (5 – 8 cm / 2 – 3.2” positive ease). For example, if you have a chest circumference of 90 cm / 35.4”, you should choose between size S and M.

Discover the Best Summer Sweater: Pyramid Tee

Leave a reply

Pyramid

One of the most popular summer sweaters this year has been Pyramid! Pyramid is a SEAMLESS tee (no sewing) worked from the top down. You can easily adjust the length of the body to make it cropped or longer, and the sleeves can also be made longer if you want them 3/4 or full length. It comes with a finished bust size from 86.5 cm / 34 inches to 158.5 cm / 62.5 inches, and is designed to be worn with 10-12 cm / 4-4.75 inches positive ease.

NOTE: The tension of this pattern is a bit loose, so if you make it with Berroco Modern Cotton you might want to wear it with a cami under it. If you want to go down needles size and knit it at the yarn’s normal tension I suggest making a size larger in the pattern.

You can also make it using 2 strands of Berroco Remix Light held togehter, which will give you the exact tension and no holes. The Berroco Remix Light would also make for a pullover for transitional seasons, perfect for the cooler end of summer/start of fall, and also spring. Remix Light does not contain any animal fibre, so it’s a great all-season option, or just wonderful if you are allergic to wool, or your body runs warm.

Yarn Options

This pattern will be great made with Berroco Modern Cotton, it will have a loose, summery tension that’s a bit open. I also did some swatching and found that it’s also perfect to use 2 strands of Berroco Remix Light held togehter, which will give you the pretty tweedy texture, and a more conventional tension so you won’t need to wear a cami under your top.
