The Gracie V Neck is a semi-cropped, colour block granny stripe tee. It’s made in one panel and only requires seaming at the underarm! It’s worked from the centre out, with the sleeves attached directly onto the body. This construction allows for a super comfy and boxy fit, great for tucking into jeans and skirts.

It’s a great make for wearing throughout Autumn, as the straight sleeves are perfect for layering. Gracie is quite a modular garment and it’s super easy to work up once you have the hang of the different techniques.

It’s designed to be made with cotton, but any plant-based yarn will achieve a similar drape. The body can be made longer or shorter to suit your preference, but please note it will affect both your stitch count and the meterage required. If you are worried about the fit being too large, feel free to size down for a more fitted garment.

It is an intermediate pattern, but I encourage confident beginners to have a go!

Bust sizes given as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X): 100 (110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 155, 160, 165) cm, requiring 1177 (1243, 1450, 1551, 1671, 1888, 2090, 2255, 2448)metres of DK-weight yarn. I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Dusty Rose and Sunshine for my sample.
