Front Pleat Dolman
This versatile knitting pattern for a stylish tee is available in a range of sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large. Actual chest sizes are as follows: 35¾ (39¼, 43, 47¼, 50¼) inches / 91 (100, 109, 120, 127) cm bust circumference, making it easy to find the perfect fit for everyone.
To create this beautiful piece, you will need a total of 1000 (1140, 1280, 1400, 1560) yards / 915 (1040, 1170, 1280, 1430) meters of DK weight yarn (11 wraps per inch). For your knitting needles, you'll require size 3 (3.25mm) for the neckband using a 16-inch / 40 cm circular needle, and size 4 (3.5mm) for both the body and yoke, utilizing a 32-inch / 80 cm circular needle and a set of double-pointed needles.
Essential notions include removable markers, stitch holders, and a yarn needle to assemble your masterpiece. Ensure accurate tension by achieving a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rounds per 4 inches / 10 cm in stockinette stitch on the larger needles.
The unique yoke design of this tee is accomplished by working from side to side in one continuous piece that incorporates the sleeves in reverse stockinette stitch. After the sleeve seams are skillfully joined, stitches for the body are effortlessly picked up from the yoke edge and underarm, allowing you to continue in the round without interruption.
This pattern offers you the freedom to customize your design to fit your personal style and preferences. Feel free to lengthen the tee to create a chic tunic that can transition seamlessly from casual outings to more dressed-up events, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
Whether you're a skilled knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this pattern is designed to inspire creativity and provide a rewarding crafting experience. Dive into your next project with this knitting pattern and create a stunning tee that you will cherish for years to come!
