This single pattern has been corrected since its original publication in The Knitter Magazine (there was a 1-st shift between color blocks for some sizes)

Un-Deux-Trois is a combination of geometry and playful math, allowing an endless array of yarn pairings.
The fit is very oversized with unusual proportions, but can be easily customized lengthwise.

CONSTRUCTION

The Un-Deux-Trois tee is worked flat in two pieces from the bottom up and the shoulders are seamed. Stitches are picked up around the square neck opening and along the sides to add a neckband and sleeve bands in a contrasting color. The sides are seamed up to the sleeve bands.
The first two lines of blocks are worked in intarsia, the rest in stranded knitting.
