Showcasing Ashfield’s smooth hand, clean stitch definition, and breathable wool-bamboo fiber blend, this stylish striped tee has knitted-on short sleeves and a breezy scoop neck. A quick knit that will appeal to beginners and experienced knitters alike, it will earn its place as a favorite for transitional weather. Cassiopea is knit flat in two pieces from the bottom up and then joined and worked in the round to the underarms. The front and back are then divided and worked separately to the shoulders and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked in the round.
