Spud & Chloe by Blue Sky Fibers Easy Tee Knitting Pattern

Spud & Chloe by Blue Sky Fibers Easy Tee

What Is Being Made

The Easy Tee is a classic knitted pullover sweater designed for everyday wear. This garment is constructed as a seamless, one-piece design that begins at the bottom front, extends up over the shoulders, and comes down to the bottom back. The sweater features a crew neckline with ribbed edging and is available in five sizes ranging from Extra Small to Extra Large, with finished bust measurements from 33½ inches to 50 inches and finished lengths from 18½ inches to 19½ inches.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs a bottom-up seamless construction method, which means the knitter works from the lower edge upward in one continuous piece, eliminating the need for seaming. The sweater uses strategic waist shaping and armhole shaping to create a fitted silhouette. Waist shaping is achieved through paired decreases worked symmetrically on right-side rows, while armhole shaping involves both increases and decreases to create proper sleeve cap depth. The pattern includes neckline shaping with bind-off instructions to define the crew neck opening. Removable markers are placed at key points—specifically at armhole edges—to help track shaping sections and ensure proper alignment throughout construction.

Stitches Used

The Easy Tee is primarily worked in Stockinette Stitch (St st), which creates a smooth, classic fabric with a flat knit side and a purl side. The neckline features a 4 x 1 Rib pattern, a textured ribbed edging worked over a multiple of 5 stitches. The ribbing pattern alternates between knit and purl stitches: Row 1 (right side) is worked as *K4, P1; repeat from* to end, while Row 2 (wrong side) is worked as K1, *P4, K1; repeat from* to last 4 stitches, then P4. This ribbing provides stretch and structure at the neckline. Shaping throughout the garment is accomplished using make-one increases (m1) and standard decreases including knit two together (k2tog) and slip, slip, knit (ssk) techniques.

Materials

The Easy Tee is knitted using yarn from the Spud & Chloe collection by Blue Sky Fibers. The pattern requires 3 to 4 skeins of yarn depending on size selection. The photo sample shown is worked in the colorway Dolphin #7821. Knitting needles in US Size 5 (3.75 mm) are required to obtain the specified gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows equaling 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch. Additional tools include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and removable markers for tracking shaping sections. A Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook is also listed in the materials, likely for any finishing details or edge work.
