Summer top knitting pattern - Seychelles tee

22.5.24

 My New Summer Design is Off the Needles! Please Welcome the Seychelles Tee! 🌸

I'm thrilled to introduce my latest creation, the Seychelles Tee! This stylish top is knitted with DK weight yarn in a bamboo and cotton blend, making it perfect for hot summer days. The cotton fiber helps the garment retain its shape, while the bamboo adds softness and breathability.

Round Neck: Classic and versatile for any look.

Slightly Dropped Shoulder: Adds a relaxed and comfortable fit.

Minimal Seams: Knitted in the round up to the underarms to minimize seaming, with neck and armhole bands also knitted in the round. Only the shoulder seams need to be sewn.

Talea Tunic - pattern release

28.5.20
After a number of adult designs I'm happy to share a children one - Talea Tunic.
I wanted to create a light weight summer dress with simple shape and beautiful texture. So for this tunic I have chosen lovely summer yarn Mary Maxim Simply Natural. In spite of DK weight, this yarn feels really light weight thanks to bamboo. It is very soft and drapes beautifully.

Talea Tunic is knitted back and forth on straight needles. It has A-shape silhouette with dropped shoulders and round neck. The neck and sleeve bands are knitted in the round.
For this tunic I used a combination of easy to memorise stitches - Tiny knots stitch and Caterpillar stitch divided by a number rows in garter stitch.
The knitting pattern for Talea Tunic is easy to follows and suitable for advanced beginners. It is written for wide range of sizes from 9-12 months through child 13-14 years.
It is available from Ravelry with 10% off until 3rd of June. Use code TALEA10 at checkout to get your discount.
List of recommended DK weight substitutes for Talea Tunic:
- King Cole Bamboo Cotton DK
- Stylecraft Naturals Bamboo & Cotton DK
- Lion Brand Coboo
- Sublime Isla
- Premier Yarns Bamboo Fair
- Hobbii Tivoli
- Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8 Solids
