Fresh-squeezed Juice

PDF file with knitting instructions

Fresh-squeezed Juice is a warm-weather tee that is bold and creative, with a circular yoke full of texture and rich design. It comes in a wide range of sizes, from 28 to 60 inches (71 to 152 cm) of bust circumference. It has a simple construction and a style that is easy to change to wear just as you like it.

The tee is knitted seamlessly from the top-down, starting at the neckband. It is worked in the round, except for a few short rows after the yoke pattern. Carefully placed short rows and yoke increases ensure a comfortable fit. But, you can skip the short rows if you don’t like them, there are instructions in the pattern for that. The sleeves and body are separated at underarm and knitted separately in the round.

The yoke pattern is full of cables and lace, perfect if you like complex and interesting patterns with a bit of a challenge. The pattern contains a chart and written instructions for the yoke pattern.

Techniques: German short rows, circular knitting, simple lace (increase and decreases), cable stitches, place stitches on hold, pick up and knit stitches.
