It's no secret that I have a mild obsession with Grainline's Scout T-shirt pattern... I've made like 100 versions of the pattern made out of woven fabric and had always wondered what it might be like to sew in knit fabric.
Coincidentally, around the same time that I got my new serger (which makes knits easier to sew, woo!), Jen from Grainline posted a tutorial on how to sew up a Scout using knits. Kismet? Indeed. Thus, here's my knit Scout!
Vintage polka dot fabric is from Martha's stash. I went down one size from my normal Scout size and lengthened it by 1.5 inches, but I think I could have gone down maybe even another 2 sizes because there is so much ease in the pattern. It's definitely not a tight t-shirt! My neckline is a little wonky, pulling a bit. Maybe my neckband fabric wasn't as stretchy as I thought and thus I cut it a bit short?
Despite these little kinks, I still dig my knit Scout and definitely plan on more in the future!
