It’s time to share the last in our round-up of pattern-hacking tutorials. Earlier this week and last week we rounded up general pattern-hacking tutorials<\/a> and tutorials designed for skirts and pants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today’s post is a compilation of tutorials to help you customize a knit t-shirt pattern like our Metro T-Shirt<\/a>, or any of our other knit top patterns.<\/p>\n
