With open lace, customizable shaping, and a touch of fringe, Wild Wind brings easygoing summer style to your needles. Knit flat from the top down in two pieces and seamed along the sides and shoulders, this tee is light, airy, and made for movement.

Go cropped or full length, fringe or no fringe, this is an approachable, stash friendly knit that’s easy to make your own.

Design Details

The neckline is shaped as you go and finished with an i-cord edge. Two identical panels (front and back) are worked from the top down and then seamed at the shoulders and sides.

Top down construction makes it easy to adjust the body length. You can work a cropped version or extend it for more coverage. Optional fringe can be added at the hem after finishing.

Pattern Highlights

• Open lace fabric in fingering weight yarn
• Adjustable body length from cropped to longer coverage
• Optional fringe finish
• Two panel construction that’s easy to follow

Construction Overview

Wild Wind is worked flat in two identical top down panels (front and back), then seamed along the sides and shoulders. The neckline is shaped as you knit and finished with an i-cord edge.

After assembly, the garment is blocked and optional fringe may be added.

Yarn Notes

We knit our sample in Miss La Motte Merino Singles, a single ply fingering weight yarn that pairs especially well with open lace. The subtle halo softens the fabric while the stitch definition keeps the lace pattern clear and visible.

Fiber: 100% Superwash Merino
Yardage: 400 yd / 100 g

Any fingering weight yarn with good drape will work well for this design.
