Sometimes a simple garment isn’t enough–you want to add something to make it that little bit more exciting. Jazz It Up adds a band of texture to a simply shaped tee, creating a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down.

Jazz It Up starts at the bottom and is worked in the round until the underarm. The front and back are then knit separately, then a few short rows are worked to shape the shoulders, which are joined with a three-needle bind-off. Neck and armhole edgings are knit simultaneously with the front and back, so after binding off the only finishing is weaving in ends and blocking!
