Basil, a cute and comfortable tee top with a relaxed fit, short sleeves and an easy pullover style.

Great details, including functional lacy pockets, a clever side “seam”, scoop neck, and knit in bottom-up set in sleeves - skip that annoying seam and the headache!

Knit in a cool cotton and merino wool blend perfect for three season wear.

Perfect for the knitter who dislikes seams, the only seamwork in this piece is the underarm and top of sleeve cap!
