I love the boxy style tee tops that are on trend right now, so designed this top for myself. The simple construction and all-over random cables makes this a stylish little top.

I used 2 sizes of needles, knitting one row on larger needles and the next row on the smaller needles. This makes for a quick project. The random pattern of the cables makes it fun, watching how the cables end up twisting and turning across the fabric.

Finished measurements: 24, 27, 30” (61, 69, 76 cm) wide by 20” (51cm) long.
I designed this pattern to be loose and boxy, and it will fit anyone with a bust of 56” (142cm) or smaller, with at least 4-6” (10-15cm) of positive ease. I am wearing it in the photos and I measured about 8” of ease under my arms and it still drapes beautifully. The pattern is easily adjustable if you would like to make it larger and I give instructions on how to do that.

Pattern skill level: A basic knowledge of knitting simple cables is needed, but otherwise it is very easy.
