I have a great new modern tee for you, the Butterfly Stripes Tee!

I spent a lot of time researching the shape of this tee to make it look modern so you’ll look modern wearing it. My research revealed very short sleeves, a hemline right below the pant waistline, and dark colored cuffs are all very modern right now. I incorporated all three.

The stitch looks complicated but it’s easy, unexpected, fun, and rhythmic. This creative take on the butterfly stitch is the result of many hours of experimenting. When this on-trend dark and light stripe with a twist slid off my hook I knew it would make the perfect unique and stylish tee.

Below you’ll find stitch charts and instructional photos to learn the butterfly stitch, depending on your preference. And the included schematic will help you find the perfect size for you or whoever you are making for.

I think you should totally make it for yourself! You deserve it!

The tee is worked up in two pieces (front and back) and seamed. The cuffs are then stitched on easy peasy mac and cheesy, as my 6 year old would say.

You’re going to have a fun time stitching up this tee and a great time wearing it too!
