Summerlicious is a semi-cropped top-down tee/ sleeveless sweater that has all the summer fun you’ll want! It’s lightweight, worked in-the-round, and Summerlicious’ very flattering yoke is adorned with two colour brioche and eyelet garter striping.
The length is fully customizable, so you can knit it to your own desired length. There are two hem options - an elegant twisted rib, or a fun colourful corrugated rib for more flow and freedom on the waist or hips.
Summerlicious comes is a wide range of sizes from Children 2-4yrs to Adult 5XL.
There are two separate PDF's - The Children’s pattern and one for the Adult's pattern. You will receive both. But who will you knit it for first? ;0)

NEEDLES
- Size 3.75mm / US 5 circular needle, Children's: 40-60 cm / 16-24” length; Adults 80cm / 32” length (or size needed to obtain gauge) to knit the body and bottom part of yoke.
- Size 3.5mm / US 4 circular needle, Children's 40-60 cm / 16-24” length; Adult's 80cm / 32” (or 0.25mm / 1 US size smaller than gauge-size needle) to knit the yoke garter and brioche sections, sleeves, and hem. If not using magic loop for sleeves, then a set of double pointed needles, or your preferred method of mall circumference knitting, will be required.
Spare needle or smooth waste yarn for holding live sts.
Tapestry/Darning needle
Stitch marker: 1 total.
GAUGE
23 sts x 32 rnds = 10cm x 10cm (4”x 4”) in stocking stitch worked in the round after blocking on largest needle.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
Summerlicious is worked in one piece, in the round, from the top down. The EOR marker is placed at the back centre. Commencing with a garter and brioche yoke, then some short rows are worked to the back of the tee before finishing the yoke to the sleeve and body separation. The body is then worked to the hem. Finally, the sleeves are worked from the top down.
You can shorten/ lengthen this garment by knitting less/ more body length before commencing the hem. Try on as you go and adjust accordingly. Please note that extra yarn will be required if you knit the body length longer than measurement in schematic.
VIDEO TUTORIALS
There are several video tutorials linked to this pattern.
1) Jogless Garter in the round – I suggest you watch this before casting on, so you can determine if you’d like to use this method for knitting the yoke.
2) Two colour Brioche in the round.
3) German Short rowing.
