“Who doesn’t love and need the comfort and simplicity of a long sleeved, crew neck T-shirt? Especially a T-shirt enhanced with a Lattice Pattern Stitch for textural detail. This fun-to-knit lace stitch creates an interesting border that contrasts with the Stockinette Stitch of the body fabric. The garment’s silhouette is slightly A-lined in both Sleeves and Body, adding a bit of ease below the waist, for a casual, comfortable fit.

Loft is the perfect yarn for this design, offering a weight that transcends seasons. Corrina is suitable for a cool Midsummer’s Night or layered among others of its kind for a cold Winter’s Tale. Either way, it is highly wearable – whether layered casually or more pulled together with a cashmere sweater and a necklace framing its center neckline detail.” – Ann McCauley


CONSTRUCTION

  • Garment is worked in 4 flat pieces: Front, Back and two Sleeves.
  • The neck edging is picked up and knit onto the garment after it has been seamed.

MATERIALS
Approximately 1060 (1160, 1325, 1500, 1670, 1855) yards of fingering weight wool yarn
4 (5, 5, 6, 7, 7) skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 275 yards/50g)
Photographed in color “Blanket Fort”

GAUGE
Working Gauge: 28 stitches & 40 rows = 4” in Stockinette Stitch with Gauge Needle; before blocking
28 stitches & 48 rows = 4” in Lattice Pattern Stitch (which utilizes yarn overs that will open considerably when blocked); before blocking

Finished Gauge: 24 stitches & 37 rows = 4” in all stitch patterns with Gauge Needle; measurement taken from relaxed fabric after light blocking (with slight stretch)

NEEDLES
One pair of straight needles (or circulars, if preferred) and one 16” circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge
Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)
Note: You may find a sharper-tipped needle or stiletto tip helpful for working the Lattice Pattern Stitch with its yarn overs and decreases
