I saw this yarn and knew I needed to do something with it, but I wasn’t sure what. I loved the stripes and wanted to make sure to control that a bit so I knit this tee with 2 rows of Uneek worsted self-striping and 2 rows of Uneek worsted Harvest. I made sure the sleeves were as wide as the panels so that they would stripe with the same amount of color. A very fun yarn to work with.

The back and sleeves are perfect rectangular panels. The front panels have a little shaping for the neck. The panels are connected by picking up stitches along the sides and joining with a 3-needle bind off on the FRONT side of the work. The sides and underarms have stitches picked up along the sides and knit 4 rows in garter stitch before the 3-needle bind off.
The collar, sleeve border and bottom are simple garter stitch edgings.
