Light up your summer with a Bonfire Tee! This tee features an eye-catching colorwork yoke and a classic relaxed fit for no-fuss styling.
Construction
The Bonfire Tee is knit seamlessly from the top down. The neckline is cast on and short rows are worked to raise
the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The colorwork yoke is knit, then the body and sleeves are separated and worked from the top down.
Selecting a Size
This tee is intended to be worn with 2-6” / 5-15 cm of positive ease. Select a size 2-6” / 5-15 cm larger than your chest circumference. Measurements below are for the fin- ished garment after blocking. Samantha wears size 4 with +2.25 / 5.5 cm of positive ease and is 5’6” / 167.5 cm tall.
Finished Chest Circumference

81.5 (91.5, 101.5, 112) 122, 132, 142 {152.5, 162.5, 172.5} cm
Needles
Needle A (Collar)
One 16” / 40 cm circular needle, US 2 / 2.75 mm
or one size smaller than needle size needed to get gauge
Needle B (Main Fabric: Beginning of Yoke)
One 16” / 40 cm circular needle or longer, US 3 / 3.25 mm or size needed to get gauge
Needle C (Colorwork)
One 24” / 60 cm circular needle or longer, US 5 / 3.75 mm or two sizes larger than needle size needed to get gauge
I highly recommend swatching in both single-color and stranded colorwork to see if you require a larger
needle size for the pattern’s colorwork rounds, as it is not uncommon for one’s stranded gauge to be tighter than one’s single-color gauge.
Needle D (Main Fabric: Yoke & Tee Body)
One 24” / 60 cm circular needle or longer, US 3 / 3.25 mm or size needed to get gauge
Needle E (Hem Ribbing)
One 24” / 60 cm circular or longer, US 2 / 2.75 mm or one size smaller than needle size needed to get gauge
Needle F (Sleeves)
One 40” / 100 cm circular needle for magic loop or DPNs, US 3 / 3.25 mm or size needed to get gauge
Needle G (Cuff Ribbing)
One 40” / 100 cm circular needle for magic loop or DPNs, US 2 / 2.75 mm or one size smaller than needle size needed to get gauge
