This listing is for the printed pattern only.
This is simply the perfect tee for throwing on with a pair of comfy jeans and some fun shoes for popping to your local café for a lunch date with the gorgeous lady friends in your life. It’s equally at home knit in something a little bit extra and paired with a cute pair of slacks and your favourite dressy sandals for a summer date night with your significant other. Ladies Lunch Dates is a casual drop shoulder tee with simple to knit stripes that you’ll want to knit again and again and again…
Try to play with both fibre content and colour combinations for infinite possibilities. Samples were knit in the following yarns:
Ombre - Harnie Hoolie’s Designs - Silky Humps
Rainbow - Yarn Floozy - Staple
Pink/Blue/Green - Happy Go Knitty - Mardi
All samples knit in size 6 - 120cm. Julie’s full bust measurement is 101cm giving her 19cm of ease.
Recommended ease is 15-20cm but choose a size that gives you the fit you prefer.
I encourage you to play around with not only colour, but colour placement. There’s no rule that says you have to follow a specific sequence for your stripes, each one of my samples is different and they each give off a very different vibe.
