Рет қаралды 64,873
Күн бұрынThe Brightbay T-Shirt Sweater knitting pattern is a classic and timeless tee that’s perfect for spring and summer. Make it in lightweight cotton or cozy wool for cooler months. It’s knit from the top down, making it easy to adjust the body. The set-in sleeves provide a tailored fit and the perfect amount of shaping, giving the sweater a more polished and refined look. The sleeves are knit by picking up stitches and making short rows to create a beautiful sleeve cap.

I am a new knitter and completed this T-Shirt in July 2023 with Southwick cotton & bamboo yarn. The pattern was easy to follow and I learned how to knit German Short Rows to create the sleeves. The garment has been worn, washed a few times and becomes softer with use. Very happy with the result. Thank you from Donna.

Hi Ashley. I’ve completed my left sleeve short rows. But, I only have done 12 short rows. I could complete 13 but would need to move BOR marker. I would still have 4 stitches left of marker that were not worked. Should I rip back and redo or just carry on. I’m making size 4. Thank you. It’s a beautiful design. I love the full fashion details.

Maybe someone can help me- fellow left hand knitter: I am about to start increases for neckline and am on left front. I just realized if I complete the increases as stated in pattern, I will have increases on the wrong side of the neck (since I am knitting left handed). Does that make sense. Should I make the increases at the end of the instead of doing them at the beginning of the row? So I would knit until 3 before the end and then increase? I am really lost here? TIA

Hi Ashley- Started on the t- shirt and I knit left handed. I am at the point where I am increasing for the underarms. At this point, am I going to have to do anything differently since I am knitting left handed. So far everything looks good. Thank you. Also, instead of using waste yarn to hold the stitches can I use a circular needle instead? Thank you so much. This is my first top with sleeves so I am really nervous.

Blankets are tough because circular needles only go so long…. You might not be able to find anything longer! You could always knit in sections and seam pieces together if you absolutely can’t fit the stitches in the needle.

Dont by this pattern it doesn't tell you important info and is a waste of money. No idea how many to cast on, how many to increase to for the size I need or even what size I am because the size system used is nonsense. Going to be seeing if I can get a refund. Since the pattern has important info missing.
@AshleyLillisKnits 11 ай бұрын
Hi there, all of the cast on stitch amounts are provided in the section labeled “back” as the pattern instructs you to cast on stitches first for the back. All of the necessary information is included in the pattern - it has been tech edited and tested thoroughly. I have also provided a full step by step video tutorial of the pattern here which walks you through how to make it. I have 12 sizes which correspond to a finished bust circumference to accommodate many different bust sizes. You take your bust size, add the intended ease you would like, and then pick a finished bust circumference that makes sense for you. If you have a specific question, I am always happy to help. My contact information is included in the pattern for you. Have a great day.
