Knitting Pattern PDF, Stashbuster Knit Tee, Scrap Yarn Sweater, Fingering Weight Tee, Mix Tape Tee

Every stash has a soundtrack. Mix Tape turns every color, mini, and leftover into a relaxed, lightweight tee you’ll wear on repeat. Worked side to side from sleeve to sleeve, the simple construction naturally creates flattering vertical garter and stockinette stripes with beautiful drape.

Approximately 3–6 grams of fingering weight yarn are needed per stripe. Mix Tape is perfect for minis, half skeins, advent calendars, and all those leftovers you’ve been saving.

Mix Tape Tee begins with one sleeve worked in the round. From there, the back is worked flat with shoulder and neckline shaping before the stitches are placed on hold. The front is worked in the same way, then the live stitches are joined with Kitchener stitch. Finally, the shoulders are seamed for either a traditional tee neckline or a wider, relaxed off-the-shoulder fit.

One color is used at a time while simple garter and stockinette sections create the vertical stripes. The colors you choose become your own playlist, so every Mix Tape is one of a kind.
