DESCRIPTION
Bloodroot Tee is a fitted ribbed t-shirt with a folded collar and short sleeves. It is worked top-down with simultaneous set-in sleeve shaping, which means the sleeve caps are worked at the same time as the front and back.
This pattern has lots of options for customization! Instructions are included for two sleeve length options (cap sleeve or quarter sleeve), two body length options (cropped or standard), optional waist shaping, and optional stripes.
This handknit tee can be easily dressed up or dressed down, making it a versatile addition to your handknit wardrobe.
SIZING
Fit I is graded based on a traditional women’s sizing chart and Fit II is graded based on a traditional men’s sizing chart. Both fit types are graded to 10 sizes, designed to fit bodies with bust/chest measurements between 30-66” (75-165 cm).
This tee is designed to be worn with approximately 2-3” / 5-7.5 cm of negative ease at the bust/chest. This means that the garment’s circumference will be smaller than your body’s circumference.
See the Pattern Details PDFs linked above to see a full schematic.

This pattern can be worked in any fingering weight yarn that meets the gauge requirements. Note that if you use plant fibers, the result will be a fabric with more drape and less stretch. Be sure to swatch the stitch pattern in your chosen yarn to ensure you achieve the intended gauge and like the resulting fabric.
