Combine beads, texture and tailoring in Abi Flynn's gorgeous summer knitting pattern

This summer t-shirt knitting pattern by Abi Flynn features flattering pleats, glinting beads and a criss-cross diamond pattern. It is knitted in a cotton blend yarn which is ideal for keeping you cool in the warmer weather. The bottom section and neckline features subtle beading intended to catch the light and glint in the sun. One ball of yarn, pre-threaded with beads, is used for these sections whilst a second ball of yarn is used for the plain rows. Pleats on the front and back ensure an elegant fit and these are created by slipping stitches onto two cable needles and folding the knitted fabric. Stitches are then knitted together from each needle, decreasing the total stitch count and forming the pleat seam. Download this beautiful knitted garment pattern today!
