Knitting Abbreviations – Heavyweight Unisex T-shirt

A guide to knitting abbreviations. Just not the ones you’ll find in a pattern.

WIP. Frog. Lifeline. WTF. Every knitter knows that knitting has its own language and that the unofficial translations are often considerably more accurate.

This T-shirt collects some of my favourites, from “Will finish eventually. Probably.” to “This was right just now.” Wear it as a helpful reference guide, a warning to others, or proof that you’ve survived that row at least six times.

This is the heavyweight version, made from a more substantial cotton fabric with a classic, relaxed unisex fit. It feels thicker and more structured than the softer lightweight version.

Each T-shirt is made to order and fulfilled as locally to you as possible, helping to reduce waste and unnecessary international shipping. Buying one also supports the patterns, videos, experiments and general knitting nonsense I create as @CleevelyKnits.

SIZE GUIDE

These are measurements of the T-shirt itself, rather than body measurements. For the best comparison, measure a T-shirt you already own. Half chest is measured across the garment from armpit to armpit while it is laid flat.

Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly.
