Meet your new everyday warm-weather staple! The Cloud Tee - PetiteKnit is a beautifully minimal, short-sleeved tee that pairs a modern, subtly rolled funnel neckline with a clean and flawless stockinette finish. Worked in a fine-gauge stitch, this elegant piece creates a lightweight, breathable knit that transitions effortlessly from a casual day out to a dressed-up evening.
Please note: This is a printed knitting pattern written in English. Yarn, needles, and extra notions must be purchased separately.
Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 3 out of 5 (Intermediate)
- Size Range: XXS to 5XL
- Construction: This tee is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start by knitting the back yoke flat while short rows shape the shoulder slopes. Each shoulder is then worked separately before being joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yokes link under the arms to form the main body, which is worked smoothly in the round. Stitches are picked up around the armholes for the short sleeves, and the chic funnel neck is worked last.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Cloud Tee is designed with approximately 6 cm of positive ease, giving it a relaxed yet perfectly tailored, classic fit. To select your size, measure your bust around the widest part and match it to the table below.

Total length is measured down the middle of the back, excluding the finished funnel neckline edge.
Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 28 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 3 mm needles after washing and blocking. (Achieving the correct gauge is essential for the tee to finish at the intended size).
- Suggested Needles: 3 mm circular needles (lengths: 40 cm, 60 cm, and 80 or 100 cm) and 2.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 40 cm and 80 or 100 cm).
- Double-Pointed Needles: 3 mm and 2.5 mm DPNs (only needed if you choose not to use the Magic Loop technique for the sleeves and neck).
Yarn Suggestions
Always check your pattern envelope or ball band meterage to confirm total quantities, and ensure you buy complete yarn balls while adding an extra ball to account for your personal gauge swatching.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a gauge swatch, and make sure to wash and block it before taking your measurements. Plant-based summer fibers (such as linen, cotton, and silk blends) tend to relax and change texture significantly after a wash. Swatching post-wash guarantees that your stitches settle into the required 28-stitch gauge so your tee maintains its structured silhouette and fits you perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Cloud Tee funnel neck worked at the beginning?
No, the funnel neck is actually worked at the very end. Once the body and sleeves are complete, you will pick up stitches along the neck cast-on edges to knit the softly rolling stockinette neckline. -
Does the Cloud Tee use the same yarn weight as the Cloud Blouse?
No! While the Cloud Blouse uses lace-weight silk mohair held double, the Cloud Tee is written for a much finer, smooth single-strand summer yarn at a completely different gauge (28 stitches versus the Blouse's 20 stitches). Follow the specific yardage and tool rules listed here rather than substituting Blouse requirements. -
Are there any side seams to sew together?
None at all. The seamless top-down design means the body and sleeves are entirely shaped on your needles. Once you finish casting off, your only homework is weaving in a few loose yarn ends.
