Happy Saturday everyone! I haven’t checked in in a little bit, so I hope you all had a happy Mother’s Day weekend!
Today I’ve got for you the Aaliyah tee! This top has been a work in progress since January, so it’s feeling quite good to finally have it finished and ready for you all! It was on my mind to just do a looser fit summer top that could be casual and fun.
It’s a fairly easy knit to do. Your only extra skills needed are going to be some of the picking up stitches and decreases, but other than that, easy! I don’t think anyone will have a problem, but you know I’m also always here to help!
The Aaliyah tee is literally business in the front, party in the back 😂. It’s got a cropped top section, side ties in alternating colors that come together, and an apron style fit. It’s fun.
You’re not going to need much to make this tee either. You’ll need two skeins of We Are Knitters “the cotton” or a similar worsted weight yarn for the main body parts, then 3 accent colors for the side ties and the ribbing. Grab your 5mm (US 8) straight knitting needles and you’re all set! Then you’ll just need your darning needle for seaming at the end.
I can’t wait to see your Aaliyah tees! Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram (happyloveco) or email a photo to me!

Have a lovely weekend!
happy love co
