This pattern INCLUDES instructions for four different yarn weights: fingering, sport, dk and worsted.

Designed to knit up into a hand knit wardrobe staple, the Basic Organic Cotton Tee features an understated design without any ribbing. A clean, stockinette neckline and simply-finished sleeve and bodice hems give this piece its’ minimalistic ease for loads of wearing options.

The garment is designed to allow between approximately ¾“ to 3” of positive ease around the fullest part of the bust for a more trim fit with the fabric that results when knitting with a cotton yarn.
