The Shadow T pattern will be released sometime in August 2026. You can purchase the pattern now and save 40 percent on the cost of the pattern at the Wise Owl Knit Website only. The pattern will be emailed to you once the pattern is released.

The Shadow T is a top-down raglan t-shirt knit in 2 contrasting colors of DK-weight yarn. Stripes of increasing widths begin at the top of the t-shirt and continue until the hem. I used a yarn that is 50% merino wool and 50% cotton for a t-shirt that is comfortable to wear during the summer months. The Shadow T is designed to be worn with 2-4 in/5-10 cm of positive ease.

I am wearing a size 2 and have a bust size of 34 in/86.5 cm.

I have linked the Knit Wiser tutorials for techniques in the pattern that you may not be familiar with. If the links don’t work, go to https://www.youtube.com/@knitwiser
