A simple style, this tee is knit top-down and combines several techniques, including two-stranded colorwork and intarsia in the round (even a small section of intarsia within intarsia in the round!), as well as some duplicate stitching for added fun and flair.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7)

Finished measurements: 33.5 (37, 41, 44.5) (48, 51.5, 55)” / 85 (94, 104, 113) (122, 131, 140) cm
Suggest 0-4”/0-10 cm positive ease

Sample: Sample is shown in size 2 (37”/94 cm) on 33” bust with 4”/10 cm positive ease.

Yarn: Mohair, Sport, and DK weights (all estimates are based on test knitters’ results, plus an approx. 10% overage)
Purls & Postulates Wilson Mohair: 300 (320, 350, 430) (460, 505, 540) yds / 270 (295, 320, 390) (420, 460, 495) m
Purls & Postulates Jackson Sport: 300 (320, 340, 360) (380, 460, 500) yds / 270 (295, 310, 330) (350, 420, 460) m

Note, mohair and sport will be held together throughout the respective sections as the contrast color, while the DK will be held single strand and act as the background/main color. The mohair will also be used for duplicate stitching over the DK for the “bubbles” under the right side.
