The Sidewaves Tee

Test Knit and Tech Edited Sidewaves - Easy, wavy garter and stockinette stripes turned sideways make a summer tee that is as fun to make as it is to wear. Perfect for hand dyed yarns, and even better for stash busting! We matched a solid to one of the colors in our hand dye to get this painted effect. Some of our testers went stash diving and came up with some beautiful multicolored stripes. Check it out. Oversized to keep it cool and breezy for summer, and fun to knit in one piece from the left to the right. Choose your fit based on the finished size you want-As always, we give you plenty of instructions and options to make it your own. Designed for fingering weight yarn. We worked with the great folks at Hot Springs Fiber Co. [HotSpringsFiberCo](/people/HotSpringsFiberCo) to develop the pattern. Great sock yarn Stashbuster! Each stripe uses about 28-30 yds (25 - 27 m) of fingering weight yarn. (About 6 g) Go wild! Finished sizes and Yarn needs are included in the photo section, because they did not fit well in the notes. Shown in: Hot Springs Fiber Co.
