Introducing another very special pattern designed by Andrea Yetman: the Andrea's Tee. This piece beautifully combines her love for artisanal yarns with her talent for creating stylish knitting patterns.

We are pleased to offer this pattern free of charge, thanks to the generous support of 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

You have the option to purchase the pattern only or the knitting kit, which contains both the yarn and the pattern needed to knit this project!

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.                 

GAUGE

22 stitches and 28 rows = 10 cm (4'') in Stockinette Stitch.

*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.

ENJOY ! ♥︎
