Bloom Lane Tee – knitting pattern (PDF)
Bloom Lane Tee is a light and playful T-shirt with a floral colourwork yoke. The flowers create a beautiful statement detail, while the simple silhouette keeps the tee easy to wear. A fun knit for adding a touch of colour to your everyday wardrobe.
In the colourwork section, each round is worked using only two colours. Certain details are embroidered onto the finished piece afterwards.

NOTES
The T-shirt is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. You start by casting on stitches for the neckline ribbing and then continue to the colorwork section. Few short rows are worked for a better fit at the back. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you work the body and hem. Sleeves are worked last using the Magic Loop technique or with double-pointed needles. Finally, decorative details are embroidered onto the yoke using both a crochet hook and a tapestry needle. The pattern includes a tutorial video that guides you through these steps.
