A loose, oversized summer top, this boxy tee is designed to show off the unusual color play of the gradient stripes in the Uneek Cotton yarn from Urth Yarns.

Cotton knits stretch when worn, so it is important to take this into account when doing your gauge swatch and choosing the size to knit.

Difficulty: This pattern is for adventurous beginners. The stitches are quite simple and there is no shaping, but it does involve picking up a lot of stitches.

Techniques Used: picking up stitches, backwards loop cast on, three-needle bind off, i-cord bind off.

Needles:

• US #4 (3.5 mm) 40 in (100 cm) or longer circular needle, or size to obtain gauge. You may need to go up or down one or two needle sizes to get gauge.
• Additional needle in the same size for three-needle bind off.
• Preferred needle for finishing the neckline in the round: 16-inch (40-cm) circular, double pointed needles, or magic loop (also in the same size as the needles above).

Notions: stitch markers, row counter, scrap yarn or extra needle cables to hold a large number of stitches
