This free knitting pattern provides instructions for creating a lightweight, summery T-shirt using a simple eyelet stitch pattern. The T-shirt is constructed in separate pieces (front, back, and two sleeves) worked from the bottom up. Each piece begins with a K2, P1 rib border, and the main body is worked in an easy-to-memorize eyelet stitch that creates a breathable, textured fabric. The front features shaping for a rounded neckline. The sleeves are also worked flat with ribbing and eyelet stitch. Finishing involves seaming the shoulders, setting in the sleeves, and sewing the side and sleeve seams. A ribbed neckband is picked up and knit around the neckline. The pattern is designed to be easy and perfect for warmer weather.
