The Wayfinder Tee is easy to wear, and fun to knit; with options of 3-colour stripes or 2-colour stripes, cropped or full length.

Working top-down, cast on at the back neck; the back shoulder section is shaped and placed on hold. The right and left shoulders are then picked up and knitted individually until the sleeve stitches are ready to be picked up. At which point, the fronts, sleeves, and back are joined to be knitted back and forth. After finishing the neck edge shaping, the fronts are joined, and the tee is knitted in the round. The sleeves and bodies separate at the underarms; they are worked separately, finishing in ribbed edges. The neck edge is picked up and knitted first in ribbing, then in stockinet to create a rolled edge.

Yarn Suggestions:
You can knit the tee in either Sport or Fingering weight yarn. However, during the test-knit, we found that different elasticity and drape of the yarns (especially 100% plant fibre yarns), can result in a different sizes of finished garment, even when their swatches meet gauge. So please keep that in mind, and do not hesitate to reach out for assistance on choosing your yarn.
