Summer in a Box

Discover the perfect summer knitwear with our Summer in a Box top-down T-shirt pattern! This stylish boxy design features a delicate lace pattern gracing the upper part of the yoke and a narrow horizontal lace panel at the back. Ideal for both casual outings and more polished summer looks, the Summer in a Box can be crafted with short sleeves or styled as a sleeveless top. Choose from lightweight cotton or breathable bamboo yarn for those warm days, or opt for cozy wool for cool evenings and transitional seasons.

Designed for ultimate comfort, this T-shirt showcases a short body worked without shaping. However, if you wish to enhance your style by extending the length or creating a more flattering hip shape, you'll find detailed guidance on how to add hip shaping in the Pattern Notes section. This flexibility makes the Summer in a Box an adaptable addition to any wardrobe!

With a chic fit allowing for approximately 5-15 cm (2-6 inches) of positive ease at the bust, this pattern accommodates various body types. Our recommended yarn choices include smooth DK options like cotton, cotton-bamboo blends, or soft merino wool, ensuring a delightful texture against your skin. You'll need approximately 620 (670, 730, 800, 870, 940) (1030, 1100, 1170, 1240, 1310, 1380) metres, or 685 (740, 805, 880, 960, 1035) (1135, 1210, 1290, 1365, 1440, 1520) yards of yarn to complete your Summer in a Box.
