A Shirt of Fire and Ice is the cropped tee you have been waiting for. It is actually more fun and more easy to knit than anything you’ve knit before, probably! I reckon you will want to knit at least five of them, perhaps more. It’s as simple as knitting a scarf, the construction is inventive and addictive, it’s easy and intuitive to modify and customize, and my favorite part: the ways you can be creative with color are limitless. Stripe, don’t stripe, make the stripes irregular, use a mix of color changing and solid yarns, use scraps, hold yarns together. This t-shirt is your oyster. **YARN** Spincycle Yarns Dream State- worsted weight, 100% superwash wool, 50 grams, 150 yards/ 137 meters Color A: Nostalgia Color B: Lapis **GAUGE** 20 sts x 30 rows = 4” x 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, blocked. **SIZING** XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3X, 4X, 5X) To fit a chest circumference of: 30(34, 38, 42, 46) (50, 54, 58, 62)"/ [76 (86.5, 96.5, 106.5, 117)(127, 137, 147.5, 157.5)cm] Finished tee is meant to be worn with 2-6” (5-15 cm) of positive ease at the chest and has a finished chest circumference of: 34(38, 42, 46, 50) (54, 58, 62, 66)"/ [86.5 (96.5, 106.5, 117, 127)(137, 147.5, 157.5, 167.5)cm] **YARDAGE** You will need a total of: 819(936, 1014, 1131, 1209) (1326, 1404, 1521, 1599) yards/ 749(856, 927, 1034, 1106) (1212, 1284, 1391, 1462) meters Split evenly between two colors. **NEEDLES AND NOTIONS** • US 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles for stockinette • US 2 (2.75 mm) knitting needles for ribbing • Ring stitch marker • 4 Locking stitch markers to mark underarms when seaming
