As If Tee
Have you been itching to use mohair, but want an easy project to introduce you to the fiber? The As If Tee is a quick knit with an easy fit! The As If Tee uses both Aran weight and mohair yarn to create a breezy top that can be easily customized to your desired length and preferences.
This pattern is for the advanced beginner, and employs the following skills:
- Casting on/off
- Stocking/stockinette stitch
- Picking up stitches
- 2x2 Rib stitch
- Mattress stitch (invisible seam stitch)
This pattern is very special to me, as it is my first published knitting pattern! As a self-taught knitter, and longtime crocheter, I love to create modern, fun, and easy-to-follow designs. This design stems from my nostalgia for the 90s and my love of Clueless. If you’ve ever seen the movie or TV series, Cher wears a tank top over a tee during gym class, which is indicative of fashion during that time. I wanted to recreate that look in a single piece that was knit flat, then sewn together. Thus, the “As If Tee” was born. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Be sure to check out my lovely testers’ project pages for additional notes and ideas, and don’t forget to share your progress on Instagram by using the tags #asiftee and #createandslay. Tag @knitandcroshay to make sure I don’t miss it!
A note about color choice: If you want to go for an illusion neckline, I would recommend choosing the same or similarly colored Aran and mohair yarns. If you want to go for a bold, color-blocked look, feel free to choose contrasting colors!
