On A Whim

$9.99

Sometimes, a knitter just needs to throw deadlines to the wind and knit something new. At least, that’s how I felt when I took a break from mad book deadline knitting and whipped up these simple tees. On A Whim is a super-simple, super-wearable basic tee shirt of a sweater, with a flattering scoop neck and an easygoing a-line shape.

It features a slightly-wider-than-average neckline, and is shown in a long sweater length and 3/4 sleeves on Ronnie (in gray), Amy (in blue), and tunic length and elbow sleeves on Morgan (in red). All models are wearing set-in sleeve constructions. But you can choose whatever combination of silhouettes, construction, lengths, and fits you like! On A Whim is shown here in three different Indigodragonfly yarns, and the subtle shifts of the color compliment the simple silhouette. (Want to know the most amazing part? Indigodragonfly will even dye your yarn to order.)

Please note that On A Whim is available as a custom-gauge, custom-size pattern via my CustomFit custom pattern generator. Upon purchase, you’ll receive a credit for a custom version of On A Whim and instructions on how to create it.
