Meet Sundial Tee

Stash meet summer. Sundial Tee takes the bold, rhythmic colorplay of our Sundial Wrap and reimagines it as a easy, stash-friendly top with mosaic-knit stripes and clean, tailored finishing. This is a design built for sock yarns, handspun, advents, or whatever you have hanging around—and it makes every bit of it look intentional.

Worked flat from the top down with short row shoulder and neckline shaping, Sundial Tee offers a polished fit and a playful spirit.

Pair it with the wrap or let it shine solo—either way, it’s stashbusting in style.

Stripe Smart You only need around 6–13 grams of fingering-weight yarn per color, per stripe—ideal for scraps, minis, handspun, or even that tiny leftover skein you couldn’t bear to toss. Approx per-stripe yardage by size:
6 (7, 8, 8, 9, 9)(10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13) grams per 36-row interlocking stripe

Construction Overview

Sundial Tee is worked flat (all knits, no purls) and top-down in two pieces, beginning with a provisional cast on and short row shaping at the shoulders for a contoured fit. The back is worked in mosaic stripes, ending with a clean 2x2 ribbed hem. Stitches for the front are picked up and shaped to match. Once front and back are complete, sides are joined to the underarm using mattress stitch.

Neckline and sleeves are picked up and worked in the round with simple ribbing for a polished, wearable finish.
