Star Gazer Tee

PATTERN NOTES

 The Star Gazer Tee is the perfect addition to your handknit wardrobe! Choose a wool yarn for a wonderful layering tee that will you warm and cozy on chilly days, or use a cotton or linen yarn for a breezy top that’s perfect for warm sunny days.

Star Gazer is cast on at the neck and worked seamlessly from the top down. You can choose from a rounded hem (shown in the sample) or a traditional hem.

The Star Gazer stitch is not difficult to learn, but do take care with your tension on the stitches that you pick up. If they are too loose they will distort the pattern.

Also, remember that increases are only worked at the raglan markers, not the Star Gazer markers!
