Knitting For Olive | Carlie Tee Pattern & Yarn Pack
Meet your next go-to knit: the Carlie Tee, a modern take on the classic wardrobe staple. This simple tee is anything but basic—its clever, seamless top-down construction and elegant saddle-shoulder shaping make it a joy to knit and a dream to wear.
Worked with two strands held together, Carlie starts with a tidy double-rib neckline before flowing into smooth stockinette. A mix of short rows and carefully placed increases gently lifts the back neckline and forms the distinctive saddle-shoulder lines. The shaping continues down to the armholes, where the body and sleeves separate.
Both the short sleeves and the lower body are completed with deep, beautifully defined ribbing, giving the tee a clean, polished finish. Designed to be hip length with a comfortable 4–12 cm of positive ease, the Carlie Tee is fully size-inclusive and effortlessly wearable.
Our Carlie Tee Pattern & Yarn Pack includes your choice of 3 x Merino, 4 x Soft Silk Mohair, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for XS-size frames. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
