My Seaside Tee

>This is the fully revised edition of *My Seaside Tee*, one of my very first best-selling patterns. Over the past two years, I've grown so much as a designer, and I wanted this pattern to reflect the same standards as my latest designs. This updated edition features refined grading, clearer instructions, a refreshed layout, and, for the first time, a German translation. *My Seaside Tee* is a seamless top-down tee inspired by the timeless elegance of nautical stripes. Delicate lace stripes worked in a contrasting colour add subtle texture and movement while keeping the fabric light and breathable. Combined with the clean silhouette and twisted rib details, they create a versatile summer garment that feels both classic and contemporary. **CONSTRUCTION** The tee begins with a twisted rib neckline shaped with German short rows. Shoulder increases are then worked in the round before the work is divided into front and back. Both sections are worked flat to the armholes, joined again and continued in the round to the hem. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are finished in twisted rib. Designed to be worn with approximately 20–35 cm / 8–14" of positive ease at the bust, depending on your preferred fit. **FEATURES** • Seamless top-down construction • Twisted rib neckline and sleeve cuffs • German short rows for neckline shaping • Decorative striped lace sections worked in a contrasting colour • Worked flat and in the round • Relaxed contemporary fit • Video tutorials included • Intermediate level **MATERIALS** **Yarn** MC: 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) (2, 3, 3, 3) cones of Kinu by Ito (50 g / 425 m, 100% silk), or a similar light fingering yarn.
