Easy Peasy Chunky T-shirt

There’s something exhilaratingly liberating about knitting with large needles and multiple strands – it works up quickly, and the result is both airy and chunky at the same time. This short-sleeved blouse with delicate puff sleeves is exactly that kind of project you can finish in no time.

The blouse is worked holding several thin strands together. Knit it with two strands Önling No 12 and two strands Önling No 10 for a light and airy look, or two strands Önling No 4 and two strands Önling No 10 for a more chunky result. Play with colors and create your own version, from soft pastels to bright summer shades or leftovers from your stash.

The Easy Peasy Chunky T-shirt has a relaxed, oversized fit with approximately 15–20 cm / 6–8 inches of positive ease. The short length makes it perfect for pairing with jeans, dresses, and layered outfits, from cool mornings to warm evenings. A versatile and quick-knit new favorite you’ll want to make again and again.

The Easy Peasy Chunky T-shirt is part of Önling’s Easy Peasy series of classic Nordic designs. The pattern is written in beginner-friendly language without abbreviations.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure
The blouse is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, from the top down in one piece. The yoke is shaped with increases for sleeve puff and raglan. The work is then divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately with a wide rib edge. The length of both the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted and worked shorter or longer as desired.
