Pattern Construction
VIBES is a circular-yoke tee, worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to try it on as you go and easily adjust the finished length to your preference. German short rows are incorporated below the collar, to raise the back of the neck slightly, for a comfortable fit.
VIBES is a lightweight tee with a short sleeve and slightly cropped body length. This pattern offers versatility in both length and color combinations. The body length can be easily adjusted by working additional repeats of the four-stripe pattern, to your ideal length. VIBES was designed to be worked with four colors (but can be adapted for fewer colors… using a single color for both narrow stripes, as an example).
A Stripe Sequence Chart is provided in the pattern.
