SONNENSTUNDEN Tee

The tee SONNENSTUNDEN (German for sun hours) is a simple, modern and universal raglan shirt to be rethought. It was designed during the late spring time while waiting for the summer to come. We all are dreaming for sunshine after a long and dark winter. The more sun hours in a day the more we are excited for long and warm summer days.

The tee is knitted top down in rounds. First the back neck is shaped using short rows followed by a raglan yoke. The raglan lines are knitted in Seed Stitch pattern while the rest of the tee is knitted in Stockinette Stitch to create a stitch contrast. After dividing the work in sleeves and body the raglan lines go over to side stripes that continue in Seed Stitch pattern. The tee is finished by knitting the sleeves in round using Stockinette Stitch. All edges are worked in Ribbing Stitch pattern.

The pattern contains a step by step description, a schematic and knitting tutorials (photos and text).
