Blossom
Blossom is a lovely layering tee that owes its name to the manner in which the garment grows out of a central motif. This piece has a modular construction; it begins with a beaded counterpane square, giving a lovely focal point to both front & back. Stitches are worked outward and down, resulting in a shapely, seamless garment that is equally useful layered under a cardigan or jacket, or as a lovely summer tee.
It is recommended that you choose a size with zero, or slightly negative ease to account for the tendency of cotton yarns to “grow” with wearing.
