Quiet beauty and thoughtful design make our Essential Knit Tee pattern an instant classic! It has a classic, minimalist shape, while crochet-chain details at the folded hems add just the right elevated touch.

Choose from two light and lovable fingering-weight yarns to suit your season and style: plant-based cotton and linen Oleander, cool and breathable even at the height of summer, or softly glowing merino and suri alpaca Quartz, sumptuous and cozy for cooler weather.
You knit this tee from the bottom up, all in one piece and all in stockinette, working in the round until you get to the armholes, where you’ll divide to work the front and back separately. You seam the shoulders to finish the body, then pick up stitches to knit the sleeves, shaping the sleeve caps with short rows.
The detail that takes this tee from basic to essential is the folded knit hems at every edge, each trimmed with crochet chains. Follow our crystal clear video tutorials to learn something new and knit with confidence!

Whether knit in Quartz or Oleander, your Essential Knit Tee will span multiple seasons, have incredible drape, and look absolutely beautiful… A sure-to-be essential!
