I made a Teaser Trailer for this pattern, where I talk about construction, techniques, yarn choice, sizing, and modifications. Check it out!

Hazel Knits has some fabulous kits put together for this design, check them out here!

Can you tell I had vacation on the brain with this design? Bold and breezy, this top is ready to accompany you on all your summer adventures (even if it is just brunch)!
This tee is a top down, saddle shoulder garment with a boxy fit and a slightly cropped length. Instructions are given in the pattern for lengthening the body (while still having room for the colorwork chart) and adjusting the sleeve fit.
