About the work

The Comfort Zone T-shirt is designed to have a chunky and oversized fit. The t-shirt is worked in rounds, from the bottom up, using raglan decreases. You start out with a rib edge using 8 mm needles, where after you change to 10 mm needles, which are used for the rest of the t-shirt (except for the neckline).

Now, you need to pick up sts around the neck to sculpt the neckline, which is sown down.

The t-shirt is worked in scrap yarn. In the back of the pattern, I have written a couple of tips and I have created a beginner friendly way to get started with scrap yarn on my webpage. Read the tips, if you want more inspiration.

The gloves are worked back and forth using double ribbing on 4 mm needles. The sides can either be sown or crocheted together in the end.
