Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 3 out of 5 (Intermediate)
- Size Range: XXS to 5XL
- Construction: This tee is worked seamlessly from the top down in classic stockinette stitch. You will start by knitting flat to shape the crew neckline while working regular raglan increases. Once the front neckline stitches are cast on, the work is joined in the round to complete the yoke depth. The body and sleeves are then separated and knit down to the hems. Every single edge is bound off with a minimalist, clean i-cord border for a high-end boutique finish.

Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a gauge swatch, and make sure to wash and block it before casting on. Plant-based summer fibers (such as linen, cotton, and silk) grow and relax dramatically after being washed. Swatching post-wash guarantees that your stitches settle into the required 28-stitch gauge so your tee preserves its perfect drape without being too large or tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the Cumulus Tee O-neck differ from the original Cumulus Tee?
The main difference is the neckline shape. The original Cumulus Tee features a rounded V-neck, while this version is specifically drafted with a clean, classic crewneck (O-neck). -
Is the Cumulus Tee O-neck as oversized as the Cumulus Blouse?
No, the tee is designed for a closer, trimmer fit with only 4 cm of positive ease, compared to the 10β15 cm of room allowed in the silk mohair blouses. Check your actual body measurements against this tee's custom sizing table rather than buying your usual blouse pattern size. -
Is there any sewing or seaming required at the end?
None at all! The entire top-down raglan design is shaped right on your circular needles. Once you finish working your final i-cord bind-offs on the hem, neck, and cuffs, your finishing work is limited to simply weaving in your loose yarn tails.
