Knot Front Tee DK features a twisted detail at the hem, scooped neckline, and 3 sleeve lengths to choose from that’ll let you create your perfect layering top. This will knit up even faster than its fingering weight sibling, and is just as fun to make with the same seamless construction that let you wear this top (almost) right off the needles over your favorite dresses or with high waisted pants.

This pattern requires knowledge of increasing, decreasing, working in the round, picking up stitches, and short rows. An illustrated tutorial is included in the pattern to show you how to execute the front twist. A video tutorial link is included as well.

Suggested Yarn: Knit Picks Swish DK, or other DK weight yarn that knits to gauge

Sizes: 28 (32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64)” /

Sample is shown in size 36 with 2” of negative ease at the full bust. To achieve a similar look, choose a size that is the same size as or up to 4” smaller than your actual full bust measurement. Stockinette fabric in a wool blend is quite stretchy, and the hem construction with the twist allows for movement at the hips without feeling clingy - so don’t get worried about negative ease! If you’re still not sure of what size to make, find a fitted tee shirt that you feel good wearing, and measure the bust (multiply by 2 to get the circumference). Choose a size that’s similar to, but not smaller than, this measurement!
