I absolutely love exploring the mountains of California. The stunning jagged peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range were the inspiration for the lacy zigzags at the bottom of this tee, so I named the pattern after Kings Canyon, one of my favorite places there.

Kings Canyon is an enjoyable and quick-to-knit tee. Worked in the round from the top down, it has a cute eyelet detail at the raglan shaping, and short rows are worked to shape the back neckline. Most of the tee is stockinette until a bold color change happens and it switches to a fun chevron lace pattern.
