Waffle Tee

DIGITAL KNITTING PATTERN available in English and German

A t-shirt with waffle texture and a comfortable A-line shape, with a Garter hem, and side slits, featuring a sideways modular construction and an off-center shoulder.

The tee is knit sideways with a modular construction, starting from the center outward, in waffle stitch, with Garter ribbing and an off-center European-style shoulder. Short-rows and side slits create a gentle A-line shape. The neckline facing is added afterwards and matches the folded hem at the short sleeves.

The tee features a gentle A-line shape and a comfortably loose, yet not oversized, fit.

MIX & MATCH SIZING

The Mix & Match sizes are a combination of circumference, length, and neckline options. 

Choose a circumference based on your bust measurement plus added ease and pick the closest size (from 1-9), then select a length (from a-i) – from cropped to tunic length – and either a narrower crew neck or wider scoop neck (e.g., the peach sample is knit in size 3c crew, the speckled sample in size 3c scoop).
