Original Patterns: Cathedral and Chinese Checkers 

Knitter Extraordinaire: Erin (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Improvised a top down raglan t-shirt with the eyelet design being a combination of the lace from the Cathedral shawl and Chinese checkers, from Barbara Walker. Her project page can be found here, and has great details on how she worked the t shirt exactly.

What Makes This Awesome: A shawl into a t-shirt! how cool is that? I love that Erin kept the design on both the front and the back of tee, making it perfect for a summer knitting project. A top down construction makes for a great way to try it on as you go, so if you are improvising, you’ll know how things are working out before making a huge time investment.  Those of you who don’t knit much in the summer, doesn’t this make you rethink that idea? Because a breezy summer tee like this would be so perfect to wear all summer long.
