Continuing my obsession with cotton...I made another tee!
I love colour blocking, and I had the idea to make an easy cotton tee using two colours.
I made this a crop for myself, but it can be made to ANY size/length you'd like!

I've had such a huge response on the Picnic Cotton Tee (thank you!), I wanted to share another VERY easy, beginner friendly, adjustable to any size...Cotton Tee.
Here is the Suns Out Tee!
Notes before you start:
-this item is meant to be light weight using cotton yarn
-You can choose any 2 colours you'd like (or just one colour and skip the colour change!)
- I used Lily Sugar N Cream Cotton Yarn in Soft Ecru and Tangerine (total: just under 5oz, 1 skein of each colour)
-the pattern below will refer to the first colour as COLOUR A, and the alternate colour as COLOUR B
-I made a size medium for myself - you can change this to ANY SIZE, by increasing or decreasing the initial chains to start (go ahead and measure the chains to your body or to the person you're making it for before you start, that's it!)
-Also, you can complete less or more rows to adjust the length (I made mine a crop top)
-If you are changing the length make sure to do this evenly for each colour (I completed 12 rows of Tangerine and 12 rows of Soft Ecru)
Changing colours for this project:
-With COLOUR A, SL ST in last stitch of that particular row
-Now working in that same stitch - with COLOUR B, attach yarn, pull through and SL ST
- continue pattern
