The V-back Tee was originally released in 2018, and five years later, I am re-grading the pattern for 19 sizes and making big enhancements. Don’t worry, this beloved design will still have the same fit, but I’m hoping the pattern is now clearer and improved. To view all changes made for the 2023 revamp, see the section on page 2 of the pattern titled Pattern Changes.

This seamless reversible tee is worked top down and in the round. Worked on larger needles, the fabric is airy and knits up quickly. It features an A-line shape and a V neckline that looks equally flattering when worn in front or back. The back (V side) is knit on the bias. The V shaping is created by symmetrical increases worked along the spine, and German short rows are worked to level out the front with the lower back. The tee is designed to be worked with as few as one or as many as five colors and includes instructions for each color format. The pattern also includes a formula for altering the overall tee length while keeping the color band lengths the same.
