The Earth Day Tee is a bottom-up, size-inclusive (up to a 74” bust!), ringer-style tee suitable for all genders and ages! The only stitches used are knitting and purling, so I believe anyone can make this top regardless of experience level. This lovely heart-shaped Earth graph was originally made by Nicolle Bernard of @thetravelinghooker as a blanket square pattern, and I’m so excited to be able to use it as an intarsia chart for this pattern! I describe how to accomplish the intarsia portion, and have included links on each technique in the Resources section.

Tape measure
Scrap yarn or a second similar gauge needle to hold stitches when you separate for front and back
