Ida Tee Junior Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Ida Tee Junior
The Ida Tee Junior is a light and playful top-down tee with a sweet textured stripe pattern. Designed for children aged 1 to 12, the tee features contrast color stripes, raglan sleeves, and a folded neckline with a neat rib edge. The construction begins flat to shape the neckline, then transitions to knitting in the round. The body and sleeves are completed in a simple pattern sequence with a polished Italian bind-off for a smooth finish. Ideal for warmer months, this tee works beautifully in a soft cotton-merino blend like Sandnes Garn Duo.
