FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER
This pattern is inspired by the classic pocket T-shirt. Knit from the top down in one piece, the shoulders and neck are shaped using short rows, and the shoulders are joined using the invisible cast-on method. The body is worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked around the arm opening and are also worked in the round. The sleeves and body are finished with seamless folded hems.
The body length can be tailored simply by removing the work from your needles and trying it on to guarantee it is exactly the length you desire before you finish it.
The light weight cotton blend yarn results in a very flexible garment. Is it a T-shirt, is it a sweater? You decide.
Pattern and Row Checker
This pattern includes a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. It also comes with my unique Row Checker, complimentary. A tool you can use to help keep track of your stitch count, row number, increases, and decreases. Throughout the pattern you’ll find indicators of when to refer to your Row Checker.
