Finished Bust 70-106 cm (28-42’’).
The idea behind The IntricaTee was simple, I wanted to create a Tee that feels special without trying too hard. Something you can wear on an ordinary Tuesday, to lunch with friends, or under a blazer, and still enjoy all the little handmade details every time you put it on.
I’ve always loved playing with stitch patterns, so instead of choosing just one, I combined two of my favorites. The first is a beautiful 3D stitch pattern, created by working with 3 mm (US 2.5) and 8 mm (US 11) needles, giving the fabric an unexpectedly sculptural look. The second is Twisted Distitch Ribbing, adding a clean, textured finish that ties the whole design together.
Although the textures look intricate, the masterclass is thoughtfully structured for beginners. Every step is explained through detailed written instructions, video tutorials, and knitting charts, so you can simply enjoy the process without constantly searching for extra help.
My hope is that The IntricaTee becomes one of those handmade pieces you reach for again and again, and every time you wear it, you’ll smile knowing you created it yourself.
