With your glittery & glamorous Everyday Tee
Need a simple addition to your wardrobe, without it getting too complicated? Get inspired by this new, glamorous version of the Everyday Tee and make any outfit a bit more sparkly!
What you will need:
- 1 fingering / lace weight yarn (ITO Asa)
- 1 glittery yarn (Lang Yarns Paillettes)
- Everyday Tee pattern
- 3.25 needles (or the needles you need to get the gauge)
- 4 stitch markers
Step 1:
Cast on the indicated number of sts with a double thread of ITO Asa yarn. Switch to combining one thread ITO Asa Yarn with one thread Paillettes yarn, held together.
Step 2:
Skip the binding and go directly to the instructions for the short rows (forming of the front neckline). Follow the pattern until you have separated body and sleeves.
Step 3:
Work lower body until it has reached the desired length. Cut Paillettes yarn. Double ITO Asa yarn and work i-cord edge as follows:
- k3, sl 3 sts back onto left needle
- *k2, k2togtbl, slip 3 sts back onto right needle*
- repeat from * to * until all sts are worked. Cut yarn and pull through remaining sts.
You can also opt for a simple garter stitch edge, by working 1 rd k, 1 rd p, 1 rd k, 1 rd p, then binding off all sts knitwise.
Step 4:
Work sleeves following instructions for another 8 rds or until they have reached the desired length. Repeat i-cord edges as for lower body.
Step 5:
Pick up sts along neckline with double thread of ITO yarn, then work i-cord edge as you did for the lower body and sleeve edges.
Weave in all ends, sewing the i-cord edges neatly together.
Et voilà : you’re glitter-ready for Celebration time!
